The main reason I haven't answered your suggestion is it's not as easy as it sounds and right now my attention is focused on things like bathroom renovations and my sons birthday.

The CJC was last month and truth be told, I'm burned out. I spent 5.5 months on that convention set (over 250 hours) and that is on top of normal life. Just to give you guys an idea of my average day when I was making the CJC set, it was getting up ever day at 6:20 am, getting wife to work, son to day care, me to work 8 - 4:30, picking up family, playing and homework with  4 year old, getting him to bed for 7:30 and then down to the basement giving 3 hours a day to the CJC.

Don't get me wrong, I love making this stuff.

I just need a nice long break.

Besides, new map packs for Call of Duty Black Ops today!

At least, this Crimson SNAKE beauty will stay in the family  

Thanks!

Almost done with this whole Chrome Snake thing.

Blue one is up. I think this one is my favorite of the bunch:

Last day for the Blue chrome snake.

Looks like you found a winner there!

I'm happy with the results and I think the selling price was fair for something that rare. I only had two blue ones and that one was the cooler shade of blue.

It went to a good buyer.

So much chrome! Please let this is be the end of the chromed Snake Saga... . Okay, so something tells me you'll be back with a black chromed, clear chromed Snake or something even more wicked.

Although I'm not really that crazy to keep up with the Snake craze, I do dig chrome, and can understand anyone who'd want to collect them, especially that these are unique. Congrats to all the winners & Snake to you my friend!

Rest assure I only did one job, but multiple colours.  One for me, for for Ebay. I don't do this for a living, I just wanted to see what they looked like in different skins.

I took a break from posting these for a while but I have a couple of ones left that I haven't show.

That being said, I had 2 gold ones made back last spring, one for me, one for Ebay. I even changed up the stickers and replaced the Cobra logo with a set of Destro stickers. My idea at the time was to give Destro his own personal escape armor. Getting stuff coated in gold is a bit of a trick and I have ZERO plans on ever doing another run of gold. Good chance you won't see another gold SNAKE armor ever again.

After the gold chopper that Lifeline received from his girlfriend, this is what he got as a second gift:

Danemark Enterprises Golden S.N.A.K.E. armour

Less than an hour to go one the gold one.

Looks like GI Carlos has picked up where I left off:

All the power to you GI Carlos! Me, I'm outta the chrome game for the foreseeable future. It was fun but too much takes away from the over all look.

Looks like the Chrome Hailstorm is listed as well. Price has more then doubled but hey, it's a good looking toy.
