WOW!
I think the finish is great as is. Very Centurion looking.

Re: new year, new cylon
Oh, hummm..... well, we don't want our new Centurion to rust!
What sort of finish is possible? Like a clear coat, or do you mean paint - like gold?
I'd vote for Chrome or Golden/Copper (the original colors). Others like black or red could be cool, but the original colors always express CYLON like no other color will.

Re: new year, new cylon
Won’t this weigh a ton and be difficult to wear and move about in?

Re: new year, new cylon
This looks great, I think a rusted look would look cool, like some ancient cylon that has been dug up!

Re: new year, new cylon
i have tried it all on and its heavy but wearable. its all done apart from the painting or clearcoating. unfortunately i have had to put the project on hold for the near future after going round to my dads and finding him dead on the patio.

Re: new year, new cylon
Still got my metal cylon on hold until i make up my mind on how to finish it. So i thought i would do a bit of tarting up on old rusty cylon. I am going to make him more rusty
