Now, does anyone have any spare Sky Patrol parachutes I can include with this thing? :-D
I do plan on making a "Sky Patrol" version of Ace for this as well.

I'm shocked how many people think this is something you can do at home.... It's done in a factory, and was NOT cheap.
He ain't kidding. These are are not cheap to make. You really gotta love chrome.
Thankfully Mike puts up with all my nattering about chrome. :wink:

How the heck do you guys get the chrome like that? I'd love to get one, it's freakin' awesome!
@ The Mike, you should make 2011 convention Chromed T-shirts, I know I would buy one

It is expensive, the price when I did plastic dashboard parts and gear shift was the same if I did one part or 7.
The place I used was in Hamilton, but that was 18+ years ago, and I can't remember the name (very close to Dofasco)
A quick google search brought up these guys http://www.cvvacuumplaters.com/ (http://http://www.cvvacuumplaters.com/)
They are selling off all of their hardware, so if you really want to try it yourself get out the Visa.

Until then, chrome work is expensive and hard to find some one willing to do it.

I guess the question mainly for me is, do you have to provide the Skystriker to the company and they chrome it or do they actually have the Skystriker mold and they just make a chrome version? I love how the makes the chrome exclusives, but I was just wondering if there was enough interest, would it be possible to do group buys?
If enough people wanted the same thing done, then yes - they would do it, and there would be a set cost for the "job" of it all.
Recently when I got my stuff done, I think each part averaged about $25.00 - and that was just be breaking down a set cost vs. how many items I had - in truth, I think my Skystriker cost about $75.00 or more due to the size.

I did a figure stand. 1 figure stand. It cost me near $25.00. That is one expensive figure stand.
ARAH or 25th?
