Nice! I need to find a decent way to chrome gold on my G1 Black Zarak custom (it’s a painted Scorponok and at the time of the custom there were no decent chroming methods by hand) … it may finally be time to swap out the gold paint on his chest piece

I hand painted it on (don't own an airbrush) I know at least with maltow chrome, its best to usually wait about a week after painting it on before handling. Then I used Quickshine floor polish as a clear coat. I find that it does the best in terms of not ruining the chrome finish while also offering protection. I am looking to experiment with some other brands as Moltow is great but takes forever to dry. and is fragile if you don't clear coat it. I have heard good things about revel chrome spray and rejoda chrome markers offering similar/better finishes but I cant tried them yet.

wait so did you use the actual marker or the paint from the marker and airbrush it? Do you know if it can be handled a bit or is it gonna come off easily?

I used a chrome marker! I used moltow chrome for him, but you can basically pour the paint out and use it in an airbrush or brush it on. I hear good things about rejoda chrome markers as well.

View attachment 30251217Coming from MMC Sphinx, I found the TE a little too plain. So painted the face, eyes and head, chromed the missle and added a toyhax set. Fits in much better with my hasui inspired collection.

Yes, he can transform. I may pick up the toyhax set for him as well… the decals look
Good on him

I like it. Looks better with the FT face. That's the main reason why in the end I decided to swap out my Speed Star. – Is it still possible to transform him?

Thanks, I asked because most of us with this particular Mirage don’t have the Fanstoys version…sooo

It was just the face… I had the Fanstoys version & used the extra face from it. It looks more like the toon to me View attachment 30196656 View attachment 30196657

FT Mirage comes with two heads and multiple faces.
Dickyscrubbs
Was it the whole head or just the face? And where’d you get it?
ldl0021
Not much, just Citanes decal and Fanstoys Mirage face added. Personal preferences

Not as far as I know. Seems like with TE just disappearing, so did this version of Mirage. Which makes him oddly more accurate…

Was the clear version ever released?
