a little update from Henrik


"Hi guys,

patience is really hard these   I'm talking to the holo studio every 2-3 days. It really seems to be hell of a work to make a perfect holo. My partner explained to me some days ago: they are working in a cellar deep below to avoid any vibration. The actual model is placed in postion and will have to stay there for aprox 2-3 hours till the movement of figure is completely setteld - I really couldn't believe that. Before they had their holo studio in first floor - whenever a heavy truck passed by the had to wait again for the model to settle down. Only a completely settled model can produce a really sharpe and perfect holo....

Status: they first airbruhed the figure and worked on all small details like eyes, mouth, etc. Then they attached it to an iron pole to prevent any movement. Now they've done it - they made the master holo. So the last bit that is left to do is to get the correct green color - they mentioned that no one in the past 15 years demanded a green holo 

The reason why the before mentioned holos might have turned red is that the holo studio didn't push the light spectrum into the green spectrum which is possible. And of course they might not have used the right film.

I can only reply what my partners said right from the beginning - under normal conditions the color will remain green for years and I really trust those guys - they are making holos since the 70's and they should be experienced enough...

Enclosed please find a pic of the final model straight out of the holo studio from which the holo was made. Back to you next week with photo and film of the first samples I should finally receive in a couple of days

Have fun
cheers

henrik"
