Actually, I saw the link in your signature, Penguiness, and clicked on it. Figured anything called a "mod Spa" had to be worth looking at! :)

Thank you, LittleBird! Good to know I brought Mark some business. He does really good work.

Finally!! It is finally done! This mod took me longer than any other patina I've ever done; and IMO it's worth it :)

Had an issue just as I was finishing it up the first time and had to start over completely. The 2nd go I used a different technique that took about 9 days instead of the typical 24 hrs it takes for a "blue/green" look. This way yielded a stronger patina, which is critical with the blue and green ones.

Here she is, the Bronze Tmod - Tranny with Copper Button

It was a real challenge, mainly because we wanted some blue/green in there, yet I wanted to still show some of the cool bronze characteristics in the patina, yet having a transition to it that puts the copper button in the middle of nice blues.
A real test of my patience & OCD. Dog you have the patience of a saint! Thank you for allowing me to take so much time to get it just right ;)

Sorry my pictures don't do them any justice. They look so much better in person!

Oh wow! These are all extra sharp looking benthos! [emoji4]

Ah, so that is the Derringer cap Mark was talking about. Did not realize it was on a sexy red Sunbox with flatter. Gives me ideas for my green!
