Super Trooper!
I was inspired by Marauder Ruben's version, and decided to give the Molotow chrome pens a go. The result is stellar, but they SUCK to manage... :/ RECIPE: Head--50th Falcon, neck modded. Torso--50th Bazooka, painted zinc chromate green. Arms--50th Gung-Ho. Legs--upper thighs, 50th Roadblock, painted Russian military green...lower legs from Marauder Task Force, painted green/black/chrome. Accessories--MTF armor vest (added grenades from 25th Viper, strip of bullets and MTF plate), painted chrome...MTF helmet painted chrome, 50th Firefly weapon painted chrome...heavily modded alley-viper shield, painted chrome...arm and wrist bands made from scraps, painted green...25th stand, painted chrome.

Awesome man! What paint did you use for the chrome, it looks like the real deal.
*duh I see it now, Molotow chrome pens. Where can I find these?

Can you elaborate on the "SUCK" part? How, why, etc.? Great looking figure.

Chrome looks beautiful, BUUUT... It's a nightmare to work with. Streaks if continuing after 3-5 seconds of initial application; get it right RIGHT AWAY! Tacky to touch forever; instantly dulls/kills chrome look. Touching with fingers or anything else! :/ Pen doesn't hit all crevices. I bought the 4 mm, but also the 1 mm. Still had to essentially drip into tight spaces. Each consecutive coat worsens the quality of the finished product. However, it is necessary to retouch any spots where handling occurred. Chrome look can be brought back, but crispness in detail dies as more layers of paint are added. Still...glad it's done, and I got it to work after tearing what's left of my hair out! Now...having said that, a fellow customizer on FB said he puts the chrome painted figure under a dark light/uv light, and the paint instantly hardens. So, perhaps there is a solution after all...
