    I like it. Covers scratches well, all the while knowing as old as it is there will be many with this wear.

    You mean like this?


    Just because I'm old doesn't mean I don't love to look at a pretty bust.

    With the proper chemicals it could be bright silver again, just saying. ;)

    Yep. After winging it for years, I'm trying to dial it all in a bit. Still need to find a macro lens that doesn't hurt my wallet so much.

    Ha, What you talkin' bout? I guess I am a little crusty around the edges. :D

    I like the hint of circam on the reverse. The colour is wonderful.
