The finish on this custom was totally unexpected.  I originally wanted the finish on this to be black chrome with red highlights at the seams.   After getting the parts from the vacuum chamber, I began doing a red wash on the parts by diluting transparent Tamiya red and using a large brush to "wash" the parts.  After wiping off the extra red paint on the parts, I noticed a red tint on the chrome finish.  I didn't think too much of it until I began spraying the Transparent smoke paint.   As soon as the smoke paint hit the surface, the color instantly turned into at bronze color.  Even though I didn't plan for this,  the finish on this custom came out awesome!  The figure debuted at the 2009 Cybcon conference in Tacoma, Washington where it received many compliments and positive feedback.
