### Let's just hope he is not in need of more data, and getting ready to use the liquid aluminum method:

Extremely cool, thanks.  Aluminum is good for electroplating.  A good-sized plating bath could be used to flash chromium, gold or silver onto the surface.  Silver might not be any good: it tarnishes readily when in contact with aluminum.  But the sculpture could get a nickel-copper flash, and a gold layer over that, which would make a really cool corrosion-free surface.  Might add a couple hundred bucks to the cost of manufacturing.
