Thanks alot!
I already got this pic,but the Quality of yours is much better.
its hard to get good pics ,but i need them for sculpting.
I think the falcon is like the "holy grail" for the most prop collectors,
therefor i dont want to make "another" copy,i want to make the best one!:)
 
Re: Maltese Falcon measurements...

It looks like that the original color of the resin falcon was golden?
Am i right, or Do you know what color was original?
Are there more sources available for more detailed pics?
I need only 20 minutes alone with the original and the silicone mold is ready....
And what version do you think will be better?
a copy that looks like the resin one today, or how it might have looked when they take the screenshots?

I wrote him a PN...
the 2 main Problems are: the exact height (11 1/8" or 11,5" ?)
A good pic from the back and left side....:cry

This is in the wrong forum section. It would do better if posted in the prop section and not the modeling area.

the one in the movie is lead not gold
and it nearly broke bogies foot if i recall.
no idea on size sorry
i have a replica but i doubt it is spot on
 
Peter P. did you ever obtain the exact dimensions? There has been some discussion about obtaining a laser scan of one of the originals-any info on that?

Give us an update.
 
I'm surprised this hasn't come up in this thread yet. I'm not a big Maltese Falcon fan but I am a huge Mythbusters fan.

Doubt that this has any useful exact measurements but it's sorta on topic and very interesting. it's a very entertaining video of Adam Savage discussing his obsessions and even mentions the RPF.

***Found the older Maltese thread and there's the video. Anyhooo it's a bump for the thread.***

Yes, thanks. It was Adam's project that sparked renewed interest in the "black bird". I was hoping that someone had obtained access to one of the original props and obtained a laser scan.

If so, post up.
