While I have decent camera equipment, I lack a good light soft box. I'll do what I can with what I have.
Makes me wish I could have justified a weighted black bird. Oh well. Two falcons in the hand are better than 3 in the bush.

Sorry about this up front guys, but I've got some problems with people not following the ordering instructions, and with 60+ people to deal with, it's now becoming a problem, so I'm going to *****. :angry
The instructions are very clear and simple, and have been repeated multiple times on both threads. So from now on, if you choose to ignore the instructions, I will ignore your order.
For the last time, here are the instructions:
1. You must email me from YOUR server. Do not email me through the RPF, as they block my replies. GET IT. I can't respond to you. I can't send you an invoice. Whadya want me to do, send smoke signals?
Having to hunt people down who don't follow instructions is taking time away from everyone else that did. They all followed instructions and are waiting on me to pour resin, but instead I'm traipsing around the internet trying to figure out how to get in touch with you. Not cool.
2. I need your full name and RPF username. Not your initials. Not your first name only. I've got ten pages worth of order data and I can't be waisting time trying to figure out which 'Bob' you are.
3. I need your shipping address. Makes getting your shipping quote a lot faster.
That's it. Three little things is all I ask. For 90 percent of you, this isn't an issue whatsoever. You're all golden. But that 10 percent is slowing things down for everyone else. So if you see em', hit em' with a rolled up news paper and tell them "NO", "STOP IT".
PS. For those of you that have requested changes to your order, stop what you're thinking. It's not you. Changes are no problem whatsoever. Move along, this doesn't concern you.
PPS. For those few of you that have goofed up on #'s 2 and 3, relax. It's a small glitch and nothing big to worry about. Please do not flood my inbox with additional info. If you've gotten an email telling you that your order has been recieved, then you're fine. You've gotten your scolding, now go to your room and wait for your chicken. Dinner is on it's way.
PPPS. For those fewer of you that have goofed up on #3. STOP IT!! Seriously. Stop it. If you do it again, I will have no choice but to unleash the full force of my chickeny vengeance upon you. Yay verily shall the giblets of my fury wither your soul as the bitter gravy of my wrath is ladled across your brain. You will baste in the misery and torment of 12 herbs and spices. Yes, I said 12. **** Colonel Sanders, I like Paprica!

Yep, sorry about that. I got deluged with emails that first week and was focused on getting the paperwork together, so I forgot to hit 'Reply' to a few people. But you are on the list and you did get your requested number.
If anyone else didn't get a confirmation yet, just shoot me a PM and I'll look up your order.
Apologies
Oz

OK, this has been bugging me foe a couple of days now...
Why would a group like this be buying an object like The Falcon? It's not like either DiCaprio or Rahr couldnt pony up the whole $300K on their own. How or why are they going to share ownership?
Or was this just plain bad grammar and they meant these guys were among the group of bidders, and Rahr won it outright.
I'm perplexed.

Perhaps it's a gift? I can imagine a group of wealthy pals pitching in to buy something like that for a mutual friend. (Maybe even Martin Scorsese?) Meaning it's more about the gesture and who contributed to it than who can individually afford it.

I'm overwhelmed. I've been on the search of the ultimate Maltese Falcon since the early eighties when I got a job working as a PI to get through law school. I even had a chance to bid on an original in 93 (well I showed up and immediately got blown out).
Just unpacked the DeShaw falcon and it is beyond description. Photos will not do the detail and proportions justice. Compared to the Haunted Studios version and even the well respected MK, the DeShaw is significant cut above the rest.
To celebrate Oz's achievement I'm planning an unveiling of his falcon in conjunction with the release and showing of the Blu-ray version of the Maltese Falcon.
Oz thank you for producing such a quality tribute to an important piece of film history and an iconic symbol of the private investigation community.

I had the pleasure of meeting with Oz and his wife this afternoon while picking up my chicken in person. I must say, this is a work of art and worth every penny I paid. When I have time and I find the right light, I'll shoot some pics but someone may beat me to it.
Thanks Oz, for making this happen for all of us.
