    It was in pretty rough shape, they mass produced these for the home improvement store, Lowes, they made them with a solar panel on the back and a lightbulb in the lotus.
    The picture of the bronze looking one is how they look when brand new from the store.

    The one I found did not look shiny and new at all. It was very beat up. I patched up a hole and some cracks and gave it a whole new paint job. Ripped out all the electronic shit that didn't work anyways and created an incense burner in the middle of the lotus flower. Works really good.

    Beauty. Is he finished, or are you leaving things open to change?

    It is finished but I may go back in and lay some more paint on some areas and then spray it with a protective sealant of some kind.
