Checked my email this morning, and found I had received a message from a Professor at MIT, stating that he had noticed I was selling Moai on eBay, could I give him the exact dimensions and weight, and would it be possible to purchase 12 or more. I replied that I only had 5 at the moment, but could Cast as many as he needed within the next week. So, he bought the 5 I had, and gave me a little more info:
"Matt, I'm sorry about the 'latish' reply, I was in between meetings all evening.
I just got back home to your great email. We will in fact be using the statues
for the capstone design subject for undergraduate civil engineers. We are not
100% sure on the project itself, but it should be along the lines where the
students try to find ways in which the statues were transported and constructed
on site at the time! It should be fun, and I'll keep you posted."
