Great job, Elios.
Now you can watch the NG tank while playing with your giant iPod.

This really wasn't that difficult of a project to do. And it only cost me $3.56!
Here's step by step instructions on how YOU can make your own tank wall.
Supplies-
2 pieces of cardboard, 6x4
Exacto knife
Measuring tape
Painters tape
Black spray paint
Screen Projector (Can be bought, borrowed, or stolen)
Step one, using the projector, bring up an image of the tank on the screen, and project it on to the wall of your choicet.
Step two: Trim and connect the two pieces of cardboard, so it makes a 12x8 rectangle. Apply to the wall, and tape it so it is secure.
Step three: Carefully trace the tank picture. Use a sharpie.
Step four: Remove the cardboard stencil, and begin cutting away individual pieces. When you are finished, you will have two tank stencils. One that will be applied to the wall, and one for support.
Step five: Apply the cardboard stencil to the wall. Insert the individual pieces that you have cut out, back into their spaces, with tape applied to the back. When finished, remove the support stencil
Step six: SPRAY!
Step seven: Remove all cardboard, and viola!
Do what now...?

That is the most awesome thing i've ever seen. It's all perfect and newgroundy... :O
But why write names on it? It looks better raw.
If you don't change your mind, put me somewhere. Preferrably arrow on the tank driver and write joabos on the side pl0x.

Wow, that actually looked pretty sweet. I am thinking of creating a computer casing modeled like an NG tank. It could be managed, but it will take a lot of time.
Also, it would be awesome if I could be on the wall. Meh, not a big chance though.
Wait, maybe if I could come up with a great idea..!
What you could to, is to paint white stripes on your desk. Like with the NG banner, only turned upside down, so the white beams come from under the tank, not from above it.
Gah, I am bad at explaining things.

Damn, all these community projects are making me want to make my next guitar 'Newgrounds' themed. How im going to do that, im not sure, it'll probably only be the neck-plate that a very VERY select few peoples names (however many will be able to fit on it), will be inscribed on the back, and the Newgrounds tank inscribed on the face of the plate.
** Shameless plug for support to get my guitar underway **
With that out of the way, great work on the wall dude!

Holy whack, that's a nice piece of work Elios. Good job man.
In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.

I'm really impressed in how that turned out.
I've been lurking waiting for it and doesn't disappoint. Let's hope you don't tire of NG now.

Ok guys, regarding the names going on the wall, i thought of something brilliant today, and i want to get your opinion(s).
At first, i was thinking about putting selective user names on the wall in random spots. BUT, i thought of this. Instead of making it all random and whatever, collect the names that i'm going to add, and shape and design all of them into a pattern similar to the city in the background of the tank.
If that makes any sense to you at all, please, tell me if you approve/have another idea for the names.
Do what now...?

That's a good idea. It sounds a lot more creative then just slapping usernames in random places.
