Maltese Falcon

[Will Zach]

Very cool. For weight, will pouring water into the mold to get the volume and multiplying by density of the bronze alloy work?

Just got the solid bronze falcon in and it's 28 lbs.

Got mine today; it's everything I had hoped for and more

Skip the first few minutes about the dodo bird and there is an interesting story from Adam Savage of Mythbusters fame about his quest for the Falcon.

Adam did a really interesting version of the falcon. It's smaller and more angular. I got to know him while working on mine and we swapped casts. I'll have to post a pic sometime of his falcon and mine side by side.
