Ive been finishing my kitchen so its been a secondary project. But i'll be fiberglassing in a week or so. Im hoping to have it done by mid-august, well everything but the acrylic panels since i cant exactly afford them at the moment!

Sorry for being a dum dum, but what is the BioShock theme?

 

[ShanerBock888]

Bioshock is video game series, first two take place in a dystopian underwater city called Rapture. the 2nd drawing in the original post is a view of Rapture

One of the best game series ever IMHO

Yeha my basement is mostly of a steampunk design (exposed boiler, etc). Ive always loved the bioshock world and thought it would be fitting to incorporate it mostly since its victorian era and so is my house. The illusion is supposed to be a fill/empty room before you enter the underwater city. Ill have more pics in a week or two. It was pushed down my to do list for a while but not for much longer! Cant wait to take a dive in it!!

So after finishing my first floor and kitchen ( a project that took a lot longer than i thought!) I'm back to working on the aquarium. Everything is ready for fiberglassing! hopefully its not as much of a pain as i think! After the fiberglassing then ill move onto the epoxy marine paint. Then i just need to decorate and buy the 2" acrylic fun fun!
