You can try the Wayback Machine at archive.org: http://www.archive.org/web/web.php and enter sidkit.com into the search box. Surprisingly, a good deal of stuff is still there.

However, the problem is that the Wayback Machine doesn't archive everything (especially pictures).

I did find the instructions for the Scout Pistol (without the pictures) there:

Can you guys explain who was this Sidkit?

Thanks,
Brad

 

[Maelstrom]

Siderio something or another (not sure his last name) prop and model maker from Italy that has passed away if I'm not mistaken.

 

[oldzey]

Siderio Germaino used to own Sidkit and passed on.

His sidkit.com website went down with all the images and kit instructions, so we created an archive.

Did he make his kits from screen used pieces or self scutlped? They are amazing and I remember hearing him pass away. His BR blaster is simple amazing!

There's a lot of argument regarding how he worked so we must be careful not to turn this thread into a flame war.

Personally, I believe that whatever his technique he was a fabulous craftsman who was massive influence on the prop making world and he is sorely missed.

Heh.


And while this thread is still on-topic, I agree with you Jedifyfe, his work WAS amazing. It is a large regret of mine that I was never able to pick up his Firefly Mal pistol. He is sorely missed.

And the purpose of the archive is to catalog the props and kit instructions that were made by Sidkit as a resource for the prop community.
