Hi folks,
Ben is tweeting about a passion project that he is working on to save 30 boxes of Wing Commander Academy original artwork. This is a completely non Star Citizen project that he is doing because of his love of the genre. I'll let you read the details yourself, but in short there has been a discovery of 30 boxes of the original Wing Commander Academy (the animated TV series) artwork found in California, and he wants to ensure that is preserved by purchasing them, and digitising everything. He's trying to raise $9,800 to achieve this, but also is asking for volunteers to shift boxes, and advice from anyone who has experience in preserving material in this fashion.
Doing this does not help SC in an way, but it does something nice for a great guy whose passion for SC very much helps us all (not to mention for all the other fans of the Wing Command universe).

What do you want?!
Confederation spies have located a massive cache of Wing Commander Academy production artwork deep in the wilds of Southern California! There are 30 large boxes of artwork, each containing roughly 1,000 cels and several thousand sketches for a total of (we estimate) about 50,000 distinct pieces of Wing Commander artwork ranging from the cels used to make the show to the sketches and other drawings used to plan out scenes. My objective is to purchase this artwork and produce high resolution scans of ALL of it which will be made freely available to the Wing Commander community!
Where does all that money go?
All of the money will go to the purchase of the artwork. For every $300 donated, we can buy an additional box, up to 30! (The remaining $800 covers GoFundMe’s fee and credit card processing.)
