english: 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.
non_english: Ugotovil sem natančno, koliko prostornine sem izgubil s prehodom od voščenega do bronastega, in načrt povečal dovolj, da bi ustvaril 3D litografijo sokola, ki ga bom spoliral, nato poslal izdelovalcu kalupov, da ga naredi še v bronu. Ali pa -- obstajajo še ljudje, ki imajo originalne sokole, in sem poskušal priti v stik z njimi, upajoč, da mi bodo pustili nekaj minut v prisotnosti enega izmed originalov, da morda naredim fotografijo ali pa, da celo privlečem ročni laserski čitalnik, ki ga slučajno imam in se prilega škatli s kosmiči in bi morda, ne da bi se ptice dotaknil, prisežem, dobil perfektno 3D sliko. Pripravljen sem celo podpisovati dokumente, da ne bom nikoli nikomur dovolil dostop do nje, razen mene v moji pisarni, obljubim.
