Hey Monica, the 'monster' never was given a name! You'll have to give him one!
In the book he refers to himself, to Frankenstein, as "the Adam of your labours".
Loving your arch and door....very and most suitably gothic
Cheers

Well I think the braces look great as they are now, and they will go green after a while.
No idea about the coke treatment but i know if copper is heated it changes the molecular structure a little and turns a darker shade and turns green faster.
Cheers Richi

well hears todays update,:rolleyes:
and i must say that old Erving almost won the day ,I just could not get my dry brushing down,and after a couple of
go,got him to some what ,i don,t mind how he look,s,but even with a couple of mat coats still looks to shiny to me,
so gave him a coat or two of pastel to dull him down,
and tomorrow ,will just give him a dust down with a mix of gray and black,just to pick up a few high lights,
so got the grout down on the base,waited a few hr,s before washing off,them start to do the detailing on the wall and floor,just using diffidence,
washer,of grays,greens brown,s and even white,
to speed thing up used a hair dryer ,and once i was happy with that added in some moss,on the floor,wall and bottom 1/4 of the door,
so hope you like it so far, :rolleyes:
