Frankart Sculpture Base Repair

The base for this sculpture was damaged in shipment.

The alloy the base was made from did not like to be soldered, so I repaired it with epoxy and
reinforced it underneath with epoxy as well.  The event that caused the damage warped the base
and the pieces somewhat, so I had to level the top. 

I finished by restoring the patina to match the original.
