Have you ever wanted to build model kits of your favorite vehicles or characters? Have you ever wanted to create unique works of art?
Join Stan Hyde and Monster Attack Team for a hands-on demonstration of how to build a model from the ground up! Whether it’s resin, styrene, or vinyl, we’ll give you the tools you need to create your own unique work of art!
Participants are encouraged (but NOT required) to purchase and bring "any science fiction or fantasy" model kit to the workshop. If you're a beginner and not quite sure where to get such a model, just send an email to programming@vcon.ca and we'll forward you some suggestions for places to look.
Some visual examples of typical "garage kits" can be found (via Google Image search) at the following links:
With over 30 years experience working with his wife Christina Carr, let Martin introduce you to their ideas, shortcuts, and concepts for replicating props and costumes, as well as provide inspiration to create your own. He brings samples of both home created items and off-set production items to give you an idea of what it takes to build and create characters and their corresponding props.
Session duration: 2 hrs
Join Monster Attack Team for a celebration of Space Piracy!
Arguably the most famous Space Pirate in the world is Leiji Matsumoto’s SPACE PIRATE CAPTAIN HARLOCK, but Harlock is only the tip of the iceberg. While of course Captain Harlock sums up everything cool about being a space pirate, his show lead directly to two more series that featured space pirates, GALAXY EXPRESS 999 and QUEEN OF A THOUSAND YEARS. As well, Harlock was the spiritual ancestor of later shows such as Butch Terasawa’s Cobra and even last year’s BODACIOUS SPACE PIRATES in which a group of high school girls fly the jolly roger and terrorize the space ways.
