hey people, that is some funny stuff, ive been sitting back and enjoying the show :lol
but seriously, i was a little intimidated in piping in when i wanted too, (yall scared the crap outta me) in all truths I am the pattern maker, Dan was talking about, he was just trying to cover my butt, but(no pun) i cant stand by any longer and must fess up, it was my doing in posting the pic of the deconstructed code3 DV tie, i was in truth going to build a studio scale fighter, and was in fact so sure in completing it in a months time that i put the pics up in earnest not realizing what i had done until dan told me that it was too late to remove it from the other forums and i was too embarressed by the fact that i screwed up and was just picked apart by everyone that i thought were my closest internet friends on both forums.
I have in fact were going to cast the small pieces and Dan was going to do the larger parts but i was useing the C3 ship as Reference only. and i also had a Chris Kelley kit too and i was useing the cd behind the magic and the archives for the measurements and comparing the others as well.
I just wanted to do a good job, and just didnt listen to what i was told, and shouldve waited til i had the prototype in hand and posted it instead of the C3 model,
Thats it thats all i have to say, you can take it to the bank, that after this i wont be doing much in this line of work for a while.
later, Jerry
