VaperEv sells a version of the Nemesis that looks pretty close to this.
Nemesis - VaperEv Edition
Good job though, looks great!

I'm actually getting ready to do this same thing very soon with 18k white gold rhodium and 24k yellow gold accents. Did you do any prep work?
Did you use a brush type kit or a tank type?
I love burnished copper and want to try out a few ideas on some of my steel bits and pieces and wondered if its worth investing in a tank kit just for a few small bits, is there a difference in finish as I know the brush type isn't as quick as a dipping tank and the bits being done are just cosmetic.
Also is there any sealers out there to protect the polished finish, I know gold is lovely when its polished but I want to get it to an aged point and then keep it like that?

This came out very nice, good job! ... it almost makes me like the Nemesis. ;-)
Decided to get the kit out today and plate a couple of bits on my mod.. turned out alright I think.
The finish is the same and I used both methods eventually on the pictured mod, as for sealers I am not sure on that one but some lacquer could be used I would guess.
Thank you, I will try out the brush method first as it comes with all sorts of finishes and plates so if I mullah it I can just start again
