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.
Es biju izrēķinājis precīzu izmēru starpību, kuru es zaudēju no vaska modeļa izlejot bronzas modeli. un palielināju to tik lielu, lai iegūtu tā 3D litogrāfijas paraugu, kuru es tad nopulēšu un aizsūtīšu veidņu izgatavotājam un tad man to izlies no bronzas. Vai arī -- ir pāris cilvēku, kuriem pieder oriģināli, un es esmu mēģinājis sazināties ar viņiem un sasniegt viņus, cerot, ka viņi man ļautu pavadīt pāris minūtes kopā ar vienu no īstajiem putniem, varbūt uzņemt kādu bildi, vai pat izvilkt savu rokas lāzerskaneri, kurš man pieder un ietilpst pārslu kastē, un varbūt, pat, es zvēru, nepieskaroties putnam, iegūt 3D skanējumu. Es pat biju gatavs parakstīties, par to, ka es nedošu to nevienam citam kā tikai sev, es apsolu.
