10) Raffle!
Normally we’d be selling raffle tickets at this time, and we can still have a raffle, only differently!
First, it’s FREE!!

   BUT there is a condition— for a chance to win a raffle prize you must participate in the meeting. Not complicated, at all. Whether you are following us on our website www.monsffa.ca , or facebook page https://www.facebook.com/MonSFFA/ you can click on COMMENT and add your 2-cents to the conversation as you would at our live meetings. Ask a question, make a suggestion, admire the displays, agree, disagree; as Jean-Luc would say:  ENGAGE!

On Monday, I will collect the names of all the participants including those who have contributed to the display table, and put them in 3 jars: platinum members, regular members, everyone else. (yup, former & non-members will get a chance, too) . Winners will pick their prizes from the video below, and the club will MAIL the prizes to them. (Let’s hope the USPS is still in business)

As usual, Josée Bellemare, our keeper of the lists, will be sent the names of all the presenters and participants for the Christmas raffle.

And here is what’s up for grabs:

NB: The puzzles are free-standing .Monetarily, the value of the puzzles is mostly relative to the number of pieces.

11) Display Table
Take some  time to browse the display table!

First up, the scale models. Dan Kenney and Wayne Glover have been building ships, and Brian Knapp has been building  Gundam figures.

Dan is showing off his Chinese pirate ship, and Wayne is building a model of the Constitution, at 1/96.

Say hello to Brian Knapp, and give him a warm welcome to our virtual meeting. Brian has been a member since Con*Cept days, but has never been able to attend a meeting–he lives in Connecticut!

Brian wrote an extensive description of the models and their place in the Gundam universe and fandom. He’s included links to video and websites.  I know we have members who are really “into” this, so I created a page for Brian on our website where you can get all the details!!

Josée Bellemare has been spending her time in isolation making more T-shirts, and here is a sample for display. You can see more of Josée’s shirts on our site: http://www.monsffa.ca/?page_id=10682

Josée says:

Hello to all,

Here are the photos of the t-shirts I have been working on.
They are all new versions of designs I have done in the past but no longer fit. I made a steampunk shirt with a compilation of several items : a clock face, corset and parasol, gears and an owl.
Next, I painted a new tropical sunset.  The colors are a little different from the last one and this time I added a surf board.
And finally, the closest any of us might get to comic book superheroes this weekend, with Free Comic Book Day on shaky ground, my new Wonder Woman.

Okay, now you’ve just got enough time for a bathroom break, and we’re back again for the next presentation: Cathy’s Crafts!

Upcoming meeting

More inspiration for our ship building contest

Our spaceship building contest begins on the 11th of May meeting. Details here.

Here are some more ideas to spark your imagination!

The most famous “scratch-built” spaceship in Quebec is undoubtedly the Romano Fafard, from the television series, Dans une galaxie près de chez vous.

The writer Claude Legault was a GoH at Con*Cept many years ago, and he brought in many props from the show.
The Romano Fafard was the highlight of the display!

Watch the Romano Fafard in the opening episode:

 

Le Romano Fafard (VE-450) est un vaisseau canadien d’exploration de la Fédération Planétaire. Construit aux usines Bombardier en 2033, il fut lancé depuis le centre spatial de Rawdon le 28 octobre 2034. Sous le commandement du capitaine Charles Patenaude, l’équipage du vaisseau tentera de trouver une nouvelle planète qui pourrait accueillir les Terriens.

Rotating Solar Display Stand for Models

From Lee Valley, a display stand that I think will interest model builders

Solar Display Stand

For displaying small, lightweight collectibles, this stand has a platform that slowly rotates.

It works automatically, powered by four solar panels that run on artificial light or sunlight (it can also operate on the included AA battery in low light).

Standing just shy of 2″ tall, it has a 4″ x 4″ base and a 3-1/2″ diameter platform.

A great way to exhibit the metal models we sell or to highlight treasured keepsakes

ILM Modelmakers Share Star Wars Stories and Secrets

ILM Modelmakers Share Star Wars Stories and Secrets

By Wesley Fenlon

ILM veterans gathered at Maker Faire to talk about their Hollywood modelmaking memories. Here are some of the best Star Wars behind-the-scenes stories and tips from modelmakers with more than 100 years of combined experience.

At their best, modelmakers create houses and cityscapes and space ships so convincing, we believe they’re 100 feet tall when they’re only one, or a thousand feet tall when they’re really on a miniature set surrounded by other models. They build tiny houses in such excruciating detail, we think they’re real when they explode into a million pieces. They build space ships so convincingly, we buy into the universe–even if, upon closer inspection, the white hot engines of a Star Destroyer look an awful lot like aluminum clip-on lights.

Or when R2-D2’s holo projector looks like the spitting image of a reading light from a vintage airplane. Or when Luke Skywalker’s lightsaber is a dead ringer for a 1940s camera flash with windshield wipers stuck to it to serve as a grip.

This medicine is also regarded as viagra effects , as it contains similar name substance too. There are many men out there who bear the brunt of the consequences why not try here viagra ordering of such problems. When the blood flow increases then you will be able to guide the individual about cheap viagra online the pros and cons of his health. Kavach Beej: This herbal ingredient is added as a part of natural super generic cialis sexual life.
At this year’s Bay Area Maker Faire, veteran modelmakers from ILM sat together on a panel to talk about the tricks and techniques of professional modelmaking. Like, for example, how they use found objects–just about anything they can get their hands on–to build iconic props like Luke’s lightsaber or Han Solo’s blaster.

“You can take things that you throw away, like the bubble blister packs that everything comes packaged in nowadays, pop them off, cut them apart carefully, and you’ve got little domes and cool shapes,” said Sean House, a prop maker who’s recently worked on the upcoming Pacific Rim and The Lone Ranger. “The things that the razor blades come in–you can plant these things on models and make the most amazing things and nobody will ever know. And yet it adds an air of realism that’s grounded in reality. I think that’s what made the Star Wars universe work, because people could sorta kinda recognize these things even if they didn’t know what they were.”

The hour talk included some really interesting modelmaking techniques and more than a few great anecdotes from the making of the original Star Wars trilogy. Two of the other panelists, Lorne Peterson and Charlie Bailey, spent 30 years at ILM, working on Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and dozens of other films. Don Bies, who began working at ILM in the mid-80s after remote controlling R2 units for Lucasfilm, also sat on the panel. Fon Davis, a younger ILM veteran, moderated the talk.

THE MODELS AND MINIATURES OF THE ORIGINAL ‘STAR WARS’ TRILOGY

Before CGI was a practical tool, George Lucas and his team at ILM created some of the most amazing moments in cinema using models and miniatures. Here is a gallery of over 100 photos to highlight their efforts and contributions to the art of effects.
