wow nice. Are there any issues with chipping?

[Sky Shadow]

That's the perfect stuff for rechroming parts.

[ILikeSoundwave]

i don't think there is any chance of chipping cause it painted on ...it might rub dole but.... im going to give it a clear coat after it dry anyways ...

Clear coating will reduce the chrome effect. Best to just leave it as is.

I've heard that stuff works wonders, that looks great dude!

If only I had a spray gun...

[doublespy]

Very impressive! I'll try to do the same with mine:p

[i_amtrunks]

Ooooo shiny!

Make sure all your windows are closed or you'll have some magpies trying to steal it. :D

Finished ..Added the final picture to the front as well....

That chrome coat (before the gold) reminds me of the old chrome parts on G1 transformers. What type of paint / technique did you use? It might be possible to rechrome old chipped g1'ers?

Wow. Breathtaking.

[UltraMarginal]

That really does look super sexy. now you're going to have to Chrome your Ultramagnus so it doesn't look like a second hand knockoff when holding the forge.:D

Yeah it should be possible because it just paint ....i just use an air brush ...paint is Alclad 2 chrome (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/271214117674?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649) .... , just have to gloss black enamel it first before the alcald chrome coat ...

That looks amazing. Nice work.

[AJ_Prime]

Wow, that looks beautiful! Great work! Can't wait to see Ultra Magnus wielding it!

[Sinnertwin]

That looks awesome, man! :D
Y'know, now that you've painted the Forge, it's going to steal the show when Magnus' holding it... You got any paint leftover? ;)

[KalEl]

Well i can do it for $10 for any one on this broad ....you need to post me the hammer.. just PM me for detail
the paint was more expensive then normal but the shipping was the killer also cause it a special paint from the USA.

that good know when im around the area ...but parking is like 25$/h!!plus the fuel to get up there from the west! :eek: i just order it online for 20 delivered save the time in finding the thing ....

[Iriorne]

Maybe call up a local hobby shop (or find one with a facebook page, like Melbourne Hobby Centre) and see if they can post it to you? Even if it's coming from interstate it's gotta be cheaper than that.

http://www.bnamodelworld.com/ have it for ~$13.50 + postage within Australia. :)
