Lorne (Peterson) gave my friend (when it was at ILM) an X-Wing casting thinking it was an original. When I saw the casting, I noticed it was CC recast !I dont know why ILM had CC recasts in their shop.
Maybe it was done intentionally, and later forgotten. Didn't someone there add a headband to the Raiders fertility idol just because they knew people were casting it? Heck I've got old drawings I cannot remember doing, but they are mine.
I think we need to remember that while we strive for accuracy to the mm on our finished replicas, the originals were merely tools to complete the film. Like you said, to them an X Wing is an X Wing.
WE have higher standards as far as 'preserving' these miniatures. I really enjoy this aspect of the fandom, and this hobby. Dare I say this sort of devotion is a borderline art form in itself.
