This was my first attempt casting in bronze.
None of the metal is soldered, it's all one solid piece.
I sculpted the whole structure in wax then proceeded
with the lost-wax method of casting. After putting a patina
on the metal, I made the innards of painted paper and
lights. I used an old glass insulator cap as the "nucleus".
