(...) We lost old chrome? I don't think it's lost. I just think that it isn't used as much. Tell you what, I'll ask and see what the answer is. That said, I'm lovin the brushed aluminum, bronze (that Batman metallic color), and silver looks. Works (...) (19 years ago, 14-Apr-06, to lugnet.color)

I thought as a matter of interest just what colour my wife's latest MOC actually is ? It was unvieled at the latest of our club meetings. It was inspired by parts from the space set 7190 Millenium Falcon (URL) Some say new grey, others; old grey. (...)
