Serenity - July 12 2006
Starting to add the louvered part of the array. Started by cutting strips
Well the first set were too narrow so I started again
Here is the first bunch of strips glued together. The back side is messy
While the front side is supposed to look neat
This is a simple jig I made up. One thinner strip is used as a spacer
The glued part is placed beside it
Then the part to be glued is placed on top. After a dab of glue the top and left part are moved to the left and the piece just glued on is butted up against the spacer and we begin the process again
So now we have 2 sets
Oops too short have to add more strips
Starting the trimming process to size
Well I missed a few building days as I was at TT20 (www.tcon.ca) There I met and got autographs of several start. I also got some photos but do not have them yet. This is Amber Benson from Buffy. I made the etched glass thing and the paper card in the bottom left corner is to show off her autograph. She was amazing as others have stated and even remembered my name from the autograph session to when I got my photo taken.
Jewel Staite from the BDM.
Close up. Again I made the glass etching. In real life she is beautiful. Wow. I missed all of her Q&As because I was working the convention but I hear she was great
Close up of the Amber Benson etching. Again I missed all of her Q&As because I was working at the convention
And Michael Shanks from StarGate SG-1. Very funny on stage and great with the fans during the photo session
Close up of a Serenity prop I got and had Jewel sign
What is it? It is the thing that she plays with after the first Reaver attack and she is having a talk with Adam about how Mal is driving everyone away "...like Inara..." meanwhile River is listening in on the conversation above.
