That's absolutely gorgeous. I have to imagine there's a lot of finnicky part fits on a zoid like that with such a modern, finely-tuned design, with thickness added to its parts like that I assume this black red gold one you'd do would just match the original color scheme, somewhat like this one sort of did for the genesis colors

Yes, I think black-red-gold depict NJR and silver-blue depict Genesis. Recently I've got my MIB Brastle, so I will try chrome it..

I'm a little late to the party! I have the 3 chrome LZ CAS which haven't been built yet because I don't have donor LZ bodies. Unfortunately I sold this Cruncher earlier in the year. It's a beauty though. Partial chrome Mugen supposedly from Mechadioz: Technozoids Battle Cougar: Z2 Sabre:

Is that the Mugen that was for sale on Ebay UK forever ago? I remember seeing something like that. It is gorgeous either way!

Thanks all! It has become a centerpiece in my collection. I unfortunately have no proof of who made it but the original listing mentioned Mechadioz - unsure if he listed it himself but seemed like it. Didn't come with box or instructions, just model + stand.
Hanyoutai - I can't exactly remember if it was on UK! It was definitely a long time ago though, I believe 2013. It actually didn't sell the first time and Ebay US crashed so I figured someone else bought it but next day it was relisted so I snagged.
Royally - yeah I definitely messed that one up lol! I've had the CPs sitting for 2+yrs already...fail.

Never been a real big fan of chromed Zoids, but here's what I have. Zoids2 Stego. I actually really, really like this one, and I'm pretty sure I have every other Gorhecks variant as well except for the OJR because it's basically identical to the OER. And here's the black chrome Berserk Fuhrer we had made for Zoidfans half an eternity ago. The black seems to have deteriorated over the years somehow, sadly. It's also damned hard to get a decent picture of this guy.

Sunlight is your friend when photographing chromes. Those Zoidsfan Furies are hard to find! In what way has the black deteriorated?

Yeah, I should've waited until daylight to take the pictures, but then again, this time of year, there is no frickin' daylight. Anyway, the black looks uneven and spotty in a lot of places. It looks sort of like dust has settled on it and then was half wiped off, poorly. I'm pretty sure it looked a lot more even when I originally got the kit, but I'm really not 100% sure anymore, it's been way, way too long.

Shame... Maybe a microfiber clothe would help even out the shine a bit. Do the egg-beaters have any flex to them now that they're chromed?

Do the egg-beaters have any flex to them now that they're chromed? They're just really bent out of shape as you can see in the picture, and honestly I'd rather not try to bend them, I'm worried the coating will crack. I guess the thing's just kind of a mixed bag. It looks totally fine as a display piece as long as you don't inspect it too closely, so I'm happy I have it, but it's kinda flawed.

My only two chrome ones are BF Chrome black and one in light blue and indeed my blue one (the black is still in the box) has flaking on the eggbeaters.
