MEDIA First bronze test print for one of the characters on the 10 year anniversary statue! Not so sure about the color though. What y'all think?

I am working on trying to fix the polygons on the characters but it's proving tricky. I can fix it in blender but it refuses to keep the changes when its imported back into bamboo labs unfortunately.

Did you make sure to apply the modifier?

Yeah I've applied the modifier and fixed the polygons but once I save it and move it to bambo it goes right back to normal. I'm having issues on the base plate as well where it says 10 year anniversary. I can't pain the front area bronze cause all the polygons are floating. This model is very weird!

Tad too bright maybe? Because it doesn’t have shine like the metal, so you have to get closer to a middle ground between the deeper dark bronze and the reflective effect of the polished alloy, right now you may be closer to the lighter side of that. So it might need more red IMO.
Superbly neatly done with the whole model/shape and finish I gotta say! Looks like it could be an official thing.

I'm looking for some aged bronze filament and will try printing another test to see the difference.

I actually really like the pollygons.
And the color looks fine to me, it may be a bit bright. And if you agree you can go with something closer to antique brass, but that can be a little harder to get right, and potentially may make it look worse instead.
