Back when Zoidfans was THE place to shoot the breeze, a bunch of us got together and made a custom order to Leoshop. There was a run of the black chrome shown here, and also a blue chrome one, which I passed on. Black chrome is hard to photograph, so it’s taken a while to get good pics (4 years!?). The last three were done in my apartment with a long exposure, to show the weird purpleness that “black” chrome really is.
This one originally came with gold underbits, but I did not want that, so I grabbed a Command Woof AC for the black parts. Much nicer.
This Gator was a custom order. We didn’t think they’d be able to chrome the head, but they managed. Recently I got a set of shiny Zenebas stickers from Reprolabels.com, which were perfect for this guy. Then I raided my spare parts for a red canopy and some matching caps.
Originally I painted the legs gloss black, which I then realized was not the best idea (next time: semi-gloss!). I also stole a clear orange visor from a spare Zillon, when I had this idea of a chrome army—silver, black, with orange glass.
