Well our band drum riser ( Tank Turret ) it quite large and Small Stanley ( Wayne) thought getting it and out of clubs may be an issue not to metion transporting it SO....its now become a 4 piece item.

Nah but thanks for asking, will just go a loop pile LOL

More work today,
Sealed the timber flooring.
Glued the carpet on.
Cannon pivot mount sorted.

Im going to repaint the sides and front in Battleship grey again and detail it up to look "Metal Like" and install some aluminium angle around the top edge to stop chipping and ware.

Thats Arn our Stage Manager/Guitar Tech giving it the strength test so all good he didnt crash to the floor below LOL

It's going to be wicked cool.

Really pumped now our new drummer ( my cousin ) has lifted us to a new level and tightened us so much, now doing King Of The Night Time World & Makin Love plus our Facebook members has swelled to over 400.
Feel free to join up https://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=gr ... 77974&ap=1
Were hoping our show is up with the best, new promo photo shoot happening soon, going with an onstage look like the Alive 1 cover.

Took a day off work today to get some serious work done on our drum riser, carpet top now installed and we added aluminium L channel around the edges to protect it when transporting, ive also decided to repaint it and detail it again ( in progress ).

Posted: **Fri Jun 03, 2011 11:02 pm**

Killer stuff. When you guys play out with this it's going to be a crazy, crazy night.

Posted: **Fri Jun 03, 2011 11:12 pm**

Yep its going to do smoke, did a test today as well, still tweaking but you get the idea.

Posted: **Sat Jun 04, 2011 1:15 pm**

Great work Tony, your show will be very cool with the tank as a centre piece.. You'll blow the audience away...no pun intended!

Posted: **Sun Jun 05, 2011 3:08 am**

That blue tape actually looks cool on it !!!

Are you guys going to build the tread platforms with running lights on them ???

Posted: **Sun Jun 05, 2011 4:41 am**

Yeah didn't the original have illuminated Lightning Bolts on the treads?!! How Cool was that?! Anybody that saw the Creatures or LIU Tours with THAT stage & The Vinnie/Eric Turbo charged Drum & Guitar assault.............. I Hate You!!

I'm only joking... I love ya all, however I am very jealous!

What a show!!

Posted: **Sun Jun 05, 2011 4:44 am**

Been there,done that, Still have the T-shirt !!!

Posted: **Sun Jun 05, 2011 6:03 am**

Rick - you are one of the "Lucky few"! So cool! That must be a small shirt now hey!?? Do you wear it as a muscle shirt now?

Posted: **Sun Jun 05, 2011 6:35 am**

I show off my belly with it. It barely covers my nipples .

Posted: **Sun Jun 05, 2011 6:41 am**

Ok now I'm sorry I asked!

It's a crop top ala Paul Stanley Creatures era... Or Daisy Duke even?!

Hang onto that shirt they are impossible to find now...

Posted: **Sun Jun 05, 2011 12:39 pm**

We have to airbrush the "rivets" into the black areas yet then clear coat it for protection and and looking at some lights etc in various places oh and forgot to mention the exhaust pipes either side ( made from 50mm conduit painted silver ) so still a bit to do but its very close to done... its more just detailing now.
We have a gig in the works for a charity organisation at the moment so will have footage from that when it happens.

Tony

Posted: **Sun Jun 05, 2011 3:23 pm**

Can't wait to see the footage. Is it cool if I video your show when I see you guys play?

No problem at all, will set you up with a sweet DTK pass and lanyard just like the real thing , we make them for our gigs just for fun.

Posted: **Sat Jun 11, 2011 6:58 pm**

Now it's better

Posted: **Sat Jun 11, 2011 10:00 pm**

Oh yeah!!!!!

Posted: **Sat Jun 11, 2011 10:11 pm**

I filled the rear half of the conduit with expander foam so the only way the smoke can go is forward, much better.

Posted: **Sun Jul 03, 2011 11:24 pm**

Snapped a quick pic of our new lineup with new drummer Brad ( my cousin ), here we are doing our best Kiss impression, you get the drift oh and that album cover may look familar

Me and Small Stanley look like twins in this shot, my GF couldnt pic me

Posted: **Sun Jul 03, 2011 11:47 pm**

I'm not going to guess which is which either!!

Posted: **Mon Jul 04, 2011 12:14 am**

Front left, Small Stanley behind me, bloody Gordon forgot his glasses so i had to give him Devils eyes LOL

Posted: **Mon Jul 04, 2011 7:10 am**

That does give Gordon a demon look.

I suppose you are all in the same places as the Kiss guys on Dynasty, so we could have worked out who was who!

Posted: **Mon Jul 04, 2011 4:11 pm**

Correct, its a "Chinese" Dynasty knockoff LOL

Posted: **Sun Jul 10, 2011 5:58 pm**

Exhaust pipes go on tomorrow in prepartion for August 20th.

Posted: **Sun Jul 10, 2011 7:13 pm**

Posted: **Mon Jul 11, 2011 9:03 pm**

Posted: **Mon Jul 11, 2011 10:03 pm**

Posted: **Mon Jul 11, 2011 10:04 pm**

Vinnie would be proud to use this riser if he was to do a tour of Australia!!

Posted: **Mon Jul 11, 2011 10:11 pm**
