There used to be a stuff called weathering solution that turned copper dark but I havent seen it for a while an alternative is called 'liver of sulpher' That can be bought off fleabay but beware as it stinks of rotten eggs when its applied [smell goes when its dry]. Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .
