Hmm, I need to work on scale, I think.... Anyone ever have a BB gun when 
they were kids? This is sort of the inspiration... A close-up look at a 
copper BB. As I remember they tended to get a bit knurled at times. So 
yes -- not condensation, but dings (I think the normal was actually 
called "chinks" in the source file.)

A BB is rather small, and doesn't have very good mass, I need to add a 
bit of oxidation to the finish as well, I think.
