Title: Chrome statue
Post by: tonguello on February 10, 2011, 13:59:48

Could anybody who has the chrome statue from the Musem 3449 post a close up pic with and without the helmet please????
I couldn't find any pic beside the one in the catalog and it is very small.


Face and hair are also chromed?
Thanx in advance!!

I'll chrome them myself. I'll show you picks when they are done. It's a very good look IMO, the closest I've seen to the Playmo chrome.

Which methods are you using (beside paint of course)?

I thought plastics are chromed with some sort of vapour chamber?

I've just used spray paint. Maybe Gaston has a more professional method!

no, it is just a two step paint process. The chrome paint I use is VERY liquid (like water actually) so I have to give first a coat of another type of paint (shiny black)

Wow George, this is a very big offer from you !!!!!!!
I am very very sorry but these two are my king's personal bodyguards, great champions who earned their dignity fighting bravely and with honor for the freedom of Eaglesland and king's life.

But I promise that I will try to find one for you.  :wave:

This is a perfect example of the sort of thing that Playmobil could re-issue as a "collector's" item.  It would be so easy for them to do and I truly believe that lot of people would buy them (I know I would buy at least 10!)  Their newer painting techniques would also mean that the shiny silver would (probably) last longer, too.  They could even do them up in shiny gold, dull silver, dark gray, etc., and in a variety of armor styles so that every castle can have it's own hall of armor.  :love:
