I think nobody here knows. But there is one i know that knows, Armothe and I know that you know that he does chrome. There is one problem though, it is a secret; his secret, just let the secret be his.

I think I read somewhere that Armothe uses some sort of cheap chroming service. he never said what it was called though.

It's not really cheap...more like affordable - and even that is pushing it. The difference is that my method does not utilize what is commonly called Vacuum Metalization. It is actually a spray-on process that requires just as much equipment, but is much more environmentally friendly. The vendor I use requires a minimum payment of around two-hundred bucks so there is a bit of an expense up front. He asked that I only reveal my source for those who have a large volume of items that need to be chromed as he simply can't chrome a single item. If you have a bunch of items that need to be chromed, and the money required to make it happen, I will put you in touch.

I've seen your collection of chromed figs on brickshelf, and it looked like about 50-75 figs and parts. that would cost $200?
