    Maltese 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.

    Maltese Falcon

    I just got an update from the foundry and solid bronze falcons are now available. Cost $1450. Won't know the weight until one is cast. And yes, I'm rather peeved about this because he's been telling me for months that it couldn't be done. :mad:

    Maltese Falcon

    The total count from all my reading is that there were 3-5 plaster casts used in the film and 1 18lb metal bird (not lead) that was used when Gutman scratched the enamel off. This is also consistent with my experience working props in the film industry. The 47lb lead birds were created long...

    Maltese Falcon

    I've read most of that from different sources, but it was interesting and helpful to see it all summarized this way.

    Maltese Falcon

    They stand 11 3/8" tall and are roughly 4.5" wide at the shoulders by 4.5" deep. And the dimensions never vary. I got exact measurements and photos from an original falcon years ago and that's what I used to do my sculpt, with every feather and line exactly duplicated to within millimeter...

    We are always happy to take payments on anything we make so you can spread out the cost over time.

    Maltese Falcon

    Be happy to. The quick and simple is that Hot-forged is traditional metal casting (molten metal poured into a ceramic mold), whereas cold-cast is a resin casting process that simulates real metal by binding a thin skin of powdered metal to the outer surface (ie. faux metal). To be clear, the...

    Did a couple of new versions of the falcon. One in cold-cast copper and the other with a secret compartment.

    Maltese Falcon

    I have an old thread on this but since all the links are dead I figured I should start a new one with fresh pics. Anyway, I am a prop maker and special FX artist for the entertainment industry and the Maltese Falcon has always been my favorite movie, so naturally I had to make this...

    It was here. And yeah, you can still get a raw cast. Good bit of sanding to do on the seam line though.

    Maltese Falcon Replica

    Huh, just scanned over the whole thread and just realized for the first time that the price information never got posted here. Guess I never thought about it much since almost everyone bought them through the RPF. Oh well, here are the mainstays listed by name. Resin Blackbird- $160...

    The falcons are just a thing I do on the side for fun, so I don't have a web store or anything like that. I take all orders through email.
