I had figured out the exact amount of shrinkage I achieved going from a wax master to a bronze master and blown this up big enough to make a 3D lithography master of this, which I will polish, then I will send to the mold maker and then I will have it done in bronze. Or: There are several people who own originals, and I have been attempting to contact them and reach them, hoping that they will let me spend a few minutes in the presence of one of the real birds, maybe to take a picture, or even to pull out the hand-held laser scanner that I happen to own that fits inside a cereal box, and could maybe, without even touching their bird, I swear, get a perfect 3D scan. And I'm even willing to sign pages saying that I'll never let anyone else have it, except for me in my office, I promise.
Havent calculat doncs quant es reduïa exactament passant del patró de cera al de bronze, i fent-lo prou gran per tal d'obtindre un patró litogràfic en 3D, que hauré de polir i després enviar al modelador per tindre finalment el meu en bronze. O bé.. hi ha diverses persones que posseeixen originals, i he tractat de contactar amb elles, esperant que em permetran estar uns minuts en presència d'un dels ocells reals, potser per treure'n algunes fotos, o millor per ficar-los a l'escaner portàtil de làser que dona la casualitat que tinc i que cap a un paquet de cereals, i potser podria, sense mai tocar el seu ocell, ho prometo, obtindre un escanejat 3D perfecte. Estic disposat a firmar el que sigui assegurant que mai el deixaré a ningú, tan sols per a mi, en la meua oficina.
