The model doesn't actually have any textures on it yet, it hasn't even been uv mapped. The chrome look was achieved through simple lighting effects. It still needs some work, but I'm happy with the direction it's taking. I'm not sure if I'm going to leave the sword in or not. Only about half of the Cylons wore them, and to which ones, seems to be random. 

The eye-light would be spectacular if it could be animated, but I have no idea how to do it,...
