To add a drop
shadow, click on the Object Dropshadow icon, I choose
the preset of Flat Bottom Left (I'm not sure why, but
if you click on the Flat Bottom Left once and it doesn't
work, just click on it again)

Here
is the property bar for the drop shadow. You can change
the opacity, perspective and blur from here.

Here
is the finished image. Be sure to check out Metal Patina
Action to make your own action of this procedure to apply
