Stage 02 · Hard Coat + Scenic Bronze Patina

Foundry typography and multi-layered metallic aging

Dimensional foundry inscriptions ('HABERE FIDEM IN DOMINO · FONDERIA CAMPANE MANCINI ITALIA · A.D. MCMXXI') were applied in relief before sealing the surface. Scenic painters then layered warm bronze metallics, stippled casting texture, and dark oxidation washes into the recesses so the piece holds up to close-up cinema lenses.
