I saw the pictures of it, and have voted, but I don't know what it is made out of. It can't be actual tanks the way he is standing with them so well. I just started scuba lessons yesterday and I know how heavy real tanks are smile. What is it made out of? All I really want is some starting pieces, no actual directions are needed.

ahhh a soon to be scuba diver smile I happen to be one myself and yes those tanks are heavy. All i can say is that the tanks for the ones in the movie looked like oxygen tanks, I'll take a look at the one in the propping section

You scuba dive? Very cool smile. Yeah, I saw somewhere I think they said a cardboard tube, but I'm still not sure. Like I said, I want to have just the guideline pieces, the three main tanks to be more specific, and that's all. The rest I'd like to “ad-lib.”

its very hard to tell what those tanks are from that picture. My guess is that the middle tank may not be an actual, metal tank because even when empty they are extremely heavy and they arent that tall either. The two side tanks may be oxygen tanks after all, He's done quite a job with his blower but the pics really NEED more detail.

Well, regardless of what it is, at this point I'm going to go with the cardboard tubes. I'll get a really big one and a couple of smaller ones. Alot easier to carry.

Ah Yes, My slimeblower. Simply put the main tube is a Large Cardboard Tube perchase from home depot intended for pouring cement into for foundations, it was about $6 if Memory Serves. The top domes are paper mache and the side tubes are 2 liter and 3 liter bottles. Simple really, entire slime blower cost me no more than $20.

Nice job making it look real, its not half bad but your pics kinda need more detail and some color too.

Yeah, I'll get to it, those pix were taken with a nightshot camera.
