[QUOTE="Alan Cross, post: 1938449, member: 1394"] I'm building the Forbidden Planet saucer from Polar Lights. It's HUGE. The saucer in the movie is painted a dulled silver. I was thinking I'd paint my model with that "brand new, hot off the saucer factory" look -- chrome. I want to paint my C-57D saucer mirror chrome. I know this isn't screen accurate, but I think it might be cool. However, if you have a strong reason for me NOT to paint it chrome (using Alclad II chrome lacquer) I'd love to hear your reasoning. (My main fear is that painting such a large surface area would make the chrome effect look "toy-like.") What do you guys think? Is this worth trying, or are there good reasons for me NOT to do this? I appreciate any opinions and your reasons behind your thinking. Thanks! Alan [/QUOTE]
