Hi all.

I am working on modeling the castle sets falcon.  Can anyone give me the
part number for it?

Also, with coloring, it is also the parrot from the Islander set, so I
need that part number as well.  Does anyone know of any pictures of the
parrot on-line?  I personally never bought a set with one in it.

Thanks, Dennis.
I think it will be very difficult for you to do a good job of modelling this
part without an actual example in your hand. I think we agreed sometime back
that such parts would at best be considered mock-ups and not considered for
the parts voting.

Hmm... does that apply to colorations too? Probably a good idea. However,
suppose someone has (doing a hypothetical here) done a good job of modeling,
say, the MTron logo from an actual part, applied it to every part he has a
real example of, but then wants to extend it to the one thinwall type that
he *doesn't* have an example of. It's a flat coloration, is THAT a bad idea.

I would say yes, just on principle. Don't make exceptions to rules.
