Tom, <br /> <br />There were tons of 50' gons around a few years ago. Nice kits. I still see em' on Ebay. Randy, welcome to the club. I always cut out all the parts to the tank kits at once (No, I don't get confused about which part is which), this takes almost an hour. I usually break a couple of grabs, fortunately they give you extra. I have found the best way for me to cut out the grabs etc, is with a sharp #11 knife and a corner of a board that I can put under the piece to support the part while I cut it out. I position the corner so the at the part is resting directly on the surface. A neat trick to weather these guys is to weather the tank before assembly. No painting around railings this way.
