    I still think the default configuration looks best. I'd still take that upscaled Heavy Labor though.

    no one can't ever get enough chrome... I would really like to see how you pull this off Eddie, btw your ROH looks freaking awesome I love how you did the weathering effect on him.

    Do they make chrome paint or are they actially covering it in chrome...however that process works?

    If I woulda won the Powerball last week I woulda paid Eddie a ridiculous pile of cash to make me one of his Hercules...

    No, chrome paint rarely comes close, it never gives enough reflectivity. The key is to have the part "vacuum metalized" many injection molding shops do it in house. For example I knew a shop in Minnesota that would add a part to their batch if asked...The results were AWESOME! (too bad it wasn't a TF)

    Talking of chrome Plasti-Kote do a pretty decent spray chrome.....I used it on Sunstreaker's spoiler/engine block and Trailbreaker's shoulder weapons to touch up the rubbed chrome. It's not proper *bling* but it's shinier than silver paint.

    Ya know, that drill is almost comically large, but it just seems to work quite well with Herc

    haven't you learned anything from Gurren Lagan? You can never have a large enough drill.

    Hey Cheem, cool Devastator. Those MakeToys guys do nice work.
    But who's the skinny geek next to him with the canoe paddle? :dunce 

    Seriously, man, what the hell did you do to Hercules' head?!?
    That's the worst 3rd-party add-on I've ever seen. :crazy: 

    Change it back.
