Gold cast letters

[angelize]

I was watching an episode of Gold Rush yesterday and the gold cast logo they showed really caught my fancy the lettering looked as if had been sand casted in solid gold. So my first thought was I have to try recreating this in Designer Pro

Here is my result. I used one of Albacores metal gradients that he donated to the clipart gallery and a noise texture that I created in Filter Forge. (sorry but Xara's fractals just didn't work for this one)
