Frequently asked Questions and Answers

  The Falcon pretty much occupies my time.   Its a labor of love.   I do get ALOT of comments and questions about my collections, work,  and articles that I have written in magazines such as MODELERS RESOURCE, SCI FI FANTASY and AMAZING FIGURE MODELER.  While I enjoy hearing from everyone, you might want to read below to see if someone else has already asked the question you were about to.  If they haven't, do drop a line.  I'll get to you as soon as I can.

Question: WHY do some of your links not work?
Answer:   Have not got to them yet.

Question: Will you be selling castings of your Falcon?
Answer:   Nope.

Question:  WHY are replica PROPS SO EXPENSIVE??
Answer:    Excellent question.  Resin,. RTV Silicone, Various Parts, and most of all.....TIME are all Very Expensive.

Question: iS ANYTHING ON YOUR WEB PAGE FOR SALE?
Answer:   Probably not, but it never hurts to ask. Many of the items on my page have possibly already been sold.

Question:  Do you have plans?
Answer: Yes .  Gonna clean my garage this saturday.  Kidding. For most of my projects...I make the plans as I go.  I keep little after something is done. 

Question:  Where do you get your reference.
Answer: The web, books, contacts and friendships I have made.  If you found this website, you are on the right track.

Question:  Can you send me pics and reference you have collected.
Answer:   No. I just don't have the time to answer every request I get for materials.  I get two to three a day, sorry!

Question:  How long have you been building models or collecting.
Answer:   Been building models since I was 8 in one form or another.  I have only done so "seriously"  in the last few years.  I started PROP collecting when I was 16. Im 36 now.

Question:  Im building something and need help can I ask a question?
Answer:  Sure.  I hope I have an intelligent answer,  I don't mind helping a fellow modeler, especially if they are willing to throw me a technique or two, or info.  It's the emails with "1,000 questions" or folks writing and asking for my "Kit list".   I just don't have the  time to answer.

Question:   I have seen your "working light sabers" on other pages.  How did you do it?
Answer:   Okay...there are NO SUCH THING as working light sabers.  They don't cut.  My sabers are NEON..or done with PAINT SHOP PRO.  It was really just a movie.

Have a question?  Ill add it here if you email it to me.  My best advice...do your own research.  Not everyone you ask will have the right answer.  Buy what you can within your budget.  Watch out for less than honest "people".  If you are building your own. CONGRATS!!!  Its a worthwhile adventure.  Don't get hung up on detail unless you find satisfaction in the identification of THAT ONE PART!!   Only YOU know what is accurate and what is not and sometimes you will find that you have made a mistake. You may find your prop looks even better than what was filmed!   Do your homework.  Good Luck!!
