Bruce, you never fail to amaze us. The pool of creative and interesting people you're connected to seems bottomless.
This is one of the coolest projects I've ever seen on any forum. Thank you so much for sharing this with us.

Man that's awesome! To get a kit of the original X-wing molds? I so can't wait to see this!!

Thanks! I hope this works out, too. I’ll be in touch with Scott tomorrow afternoon to find out if he received the resin for the project.

Torben! Thank you, sir! I’m excited to begin, anxiously awaiting more news tomorrow about the casting process itself. We find so much model building inspiration in those first Star Wars films. I mean, who knew? The model makers didn’t, at least as far as the story goes. They just were a bunch of college grads sleeping on couches, sniffing glue and cutting old military model kits into little pieces. Totally relatable. Also blowing up models. Very, very relatable.

Ooooh yessss!

Welcome back Bruce! You have been missed! As Carlos said, I'm very envious of your friendships with the incredible people that I'd always wanted to meet. Wow, I'm always on the fringe, knowing someone who knows someone I want to know! Oh well, I'll continue to live vicariously through you while I watch you build this magnificent masterpiece!

Mike! I’ve been waiting to see if the truck delivered the resin yesterday. Apologies for my late reply. I’m very excited to begin this project; I hope everything will work out with the casting.

Duke, Duke, Duke! You are too kind. You have achieved so much more than I within your chosen scale, and have the kind of multiple purpose skill set many modelers would and should envy. I think in the model building circles you are a man of many talents. I’m always impressed by your tenacity. It’s one area in life that seems to be hit or miss within me.

Gents,

Pours were a success, I’m told. However, due to eyesight issues with Scott, looks like I will have to check the quality here and redo if anything is off.

whoo hoo! great news
