Now, the difficult part of actually having this transferred to physical form. My first thought was to turn it into a 3D model and print it in stainless steel or aluminum via Shapeways. However, their SS is rough and their Al is very matte and dark. So that approach is probably a no-go, unless someone has had good experience trying something similar.

Aluminum polishes up really nice - you can make it look like chrome if you want - if you're willing to put the work into it.
