I'm actually experimenting with a way of my own. I used some Testor's silver enamel on a Resolute CC, and am planning to hit it with a clear-coat later to protect the surface (and keep it from getting tacky with excessive handling). It looks absolutely beautiful when you get it perfectly even, and looks even more like polished metal than anything I've seen yet, including vac-metalizing.

Probably still coming. It takes a while to pull all the Vipers off the shelves, take them out of the packages and put them in the new box sets...

I like her better without the vest, too. You can't really tell she's a girl, with it on. That's fairly realistic, though. Those big bulky vests tend to do that.
If you got a hobby shop nearby, you can get some chrome Monokote. If they've got the trim strips, you can get them fairly cheap. The full size rolls cost a bit more. You've got to stretch it a little, to get it to sit flat, on the Viper's face plate. A heat source helps for that. It's easier than tracking down chrome Viper heads, and a little more durable than Hasbro's vac metal plating. Here's a refference pic, with a BAT, Viper, and a Cobra Comander I had to rechome with the stuff, along with a factory chromed Destro. |

The Chrome head vipers are superior to the other craptastic vipers...
