I have just finished my latest t-shirt. I have done more t-shirts in the past 5 months that in the past two years. Now I just need places to show them off.

In the feeling old department:

I saw in the comics section of the Saturday Gazette, Hi and Lois, the teenage son was comparing cleaning his room to an archeology dig. He was discovering treasures he had forgotten were there. What struck me was the comic book he was holding : the first ever copy of The X-Men. I know because I have the same comic book.

But there are some factors playing an tadalafil price important role in the victory, Diebler demonstrated his humbleness by stating that the victory “was a great team effort.” And that is precisely that kind of effort that No. 1 Ohio State need from their players on Sunday, when in their last home game of the season they received No. 10 Wisconsin Badgers in need of a medication such as zithromax which is not a.

Moebius Models 1/72 Cylon Raider (2 complete kits): The Cylon Raider is a quick weekend build. Each kit has only thirteen parts, including the stand. After assembly you just need to do a little seam filling and sanding before you are ready to paint. I used Testor’s Model Master 28003 Silver Lacquer for the base coat. I then marked off different panels and hand painted these using Citadel’s Chainmail and Boltgun Metal acrylics. The insignia took a few tries to hand paint the raised surface using Polly Scale RLM 25 Green. Cleanup of any acrylic paint was easy using a Q-tip dipped in Isopropyl Alcohol.The engine thrusters exhausts were painted using Model Master Burnt Iron. Panel lines were done using Vallejo’s Mecha Weathering Acrylic Black Wash. As a final touch, I added an M.V. Products (Model Railroad Lens) to represent the Cylon Mono-eye.

Dragon Models Iron Man 3 1/24 Mark 16 “Nightclub” Armor: Another quick build with only ten parts. Kit parts are molded in both polystyrene and vinyl and should be glued together using cyanoacrylate/super glue. The kit is designed to be a simple snap fit, with the chest and back plates (styrene) trapping the arms, legs, and head together. I needed to enlarge the pin locating holes to get these to fit together properly. I still needed to fill and sand the seams between them before painting. Since some kit parts are vinyl, acrylic paints are your best option. Since the Mark 16 “Nightclub” armor was designed as a stealth suit, it’s color scheme is shown as a metallic blue in the instructions. I’ve varied that somewhat by painting the base color using Vallejo’s Mecha Color Metallic Blue, then picking out different panels using Tamiya’s Clear Blue to break up the monotone finish. Then using Vallejo’s Mecha Weathering Black wash on the panel lines. The faceplate is Model Color Silver, with the eyes done in White. There is also a thin red line around the Arc Reactor using Tamiya Clear Red. Light panels on the armor are Vallejo Mecha Color Deep Blue. The container base is Polly Scale Zinc Chrome Primer with Vallejo Mecha Weathering Dark Rust & Black Washes. Details and scratches are done with a Silver artist pencil. The base is Model Master Flat Black.

Mojo Resin? 120mm Doc Savage Kit: I’ve had the Doc Savage kit for a very long time. I picked him up at the Chiller Theatre convention in Hasbrouck Heights during the late nineties. I would start it, get stalled, and strip the paint off. Rinse, cycle, repeat. He’s gone through at least three repaints, before I finally finished him this time. Base colors are Model Color and The Army Painter Warpaints – all acrylic. Flesh colors are a combination of Model Air Skin Tone and Model Color Sunny Skintone. The eyes are Bright Gold. The pants are Khaki, shirt is Skeleton Bone with Off white for highlights. Boots are Leather Brown. Doc’s hair/skull cap is Ochre Brown. The base is Desert Yellow with Citadel Snakebite Leather for the nameplate. The native mask is done in Model Master Acrylic Wood with details picked out in Off-White, Metallic Green eyes, and Tamiya Clear Red for the mouth. The name was painted using Game Color Bright Bronze. The palm frond was painted Golden Olive with Green Brown for the interior stalk. I used Citadel’s Seraphim Sepia for the overall wash, then dry brushed lightened colors over the entire figure. Finally softening any harsh color edges using Tamiya Weathering Master pastels. Ivory and Salmon for the skin tones. Mud for the pants and Sand for the base. Declaring Doc finally done … and now for those humming tunes from John Phillip Souza – the trailer for the 1975 George Pal film.?
Doc Savage: The Man of Bronze (1975) Official Trailer – Ron Ely, Paul Gleason

That’s it from me! Up next, a great presentation from Joe Aspler!

Post 1 of 6: September 12 DIY, Virtual MonSFFA Meeting

This is post 1 of 6 related posts which together make up our September 12, 2020, DIY, Virtual MonSFFA Meeting.

1) OPENING CORONAVIRUS PARODY SONG

To start us off this afternoon, that was “Stayin’ Inside” by Brent McCollugh (www.facebook.com/brentmccmusic). If you seem to recall having heard it before, you likely have! We first featured the number as part of our April, and very first, online MonSFFA meeting. At the time, the COVID-19 quarantine was just beginning!

This month, we’ll be replaying some of our favourite coronavirus parody songs from among the collection we’ve harvested off of the Internet these past months. Think of this as a “Greatest Hits” compilation!

Many talented and witty songwriters/performers have been providing, throughout this COVID-19 crisis, gentle comic relief to us all, filking well-known rock and pop hits. Whenever given, we’ve credited by name these creators.

2) INTRODUCTION

With Labour Day behind us, the summer holiday period has drawn to a close, not that many of us vacationed this summer as we have in years past. Many of us remain on “pause” at work, or are working reduced hours, and a variety of travel restrictions are still in place, anyway. Few opted to venture far from home, a lot of folk “staycationing” this summer, maybe cautiously visiting the local beach or having a couple of friends over for a backyard barbecue or something along those lines. Pretty much all of the festivals, concerts, sporting events, blockbuster film premieres, genre conventions and other such summertime entertainment choices were either held online, postponed, or cancelled outright. Travel and tourism tentatively lurched ahead this summer, but on Impulse power! The albatross of COVID-19 hung over everything as we deconfined and began a measured return to something approaching normal, yet categorically not so.

Our society will be changed in profound and enduring ways before the anticipated vaccine is deployed. Tens of thousands worldwide have already died—over 9100 in Canada, 5700-plus of those in Quebec, and approaching some 900,000 globally. Many more will have succumbed before the virus is finally vanquished. These are fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers, husbands, wives, and friends now absent from our lives well before their time.

Customs like shaking hands will almost certainly wane until the practise is but a vestige of a bygone era, and we’ll probably wash our hands rather more often than we did before the virus hit. Online learning could supplant, at least in part, traditional classroom schooling at colleges and universities, and the remote office will undoubtedly grow in popularity as employers and employees alike adapt to a more decentralized workplace. This should see savings for businesses as they scale back on their rented office space in downtown towers, and for employees who no longer need commute to and from work morning and evening. In turn, downtowns will take on a new character no longer centered primarily on the transient daily population of office staffers. Their key clientele of workers and students having largely vacated the city core, then, many downtown restaurants and bars will fold, to be replaced by something that better serves the new paradigm. Everything from the corner coffee shop to public transit will be impacted by these shifting sands. Urban populations could register a falloff in future as post-COVID thinking sees people flee the perceived congestion of city streets in favour of quieter, less crowded suburban neighbourhoods in which to live and work. And as during the April-May lockdown, the environment should benefit as we will surely record a reduction in air pollution because driving back and forth, whether by car, or on a bus or commuter train, will moderate.

The brick-and-mortar retail sector, already facing challenges prior to the coronavirus crisis, may experience an acceleration in decline as consumers shy away from a return to crowded stores in favour of online purchasing. Movie theatres could eventually disappear, too, as folk eschew the multiplex crowds and adopt streaming services as their means of viewing filmed entertainment. Ironically, the nearly extinct drive-ins, relics of the 1950s-’60s that enjoyed a revival this summer, may well experience a more permanent comeback as retro entertainment venues, expanding beyond movies to include screenings of live music concerts, sports tournaments, and other pop culture events. How many of us, even years after the virus has abated, will think twice before putting ourselves in the middle of a jam-packed room at a Comic Con, for example, or some such event?

And yet, we are unequivocally social creatures. On some primal level, we absolutely need that face-to-face contact with our fellow human beings. How we will manage this while at the same time guarding against future contagions similar to the coronavirus remains to be seen. Regardless of how it all plays out, the world we return to when things finally get back to “normal” will be a fundamentally changed one.

As always, it remains vitally important that we continue to follow best recommended safety practises in order to help minimize the spread of the virus. That means frequent and thorough hand-washing, use of a hand-sanitizer, social distancing, mask-wearing in public, the minimizing of contact with others outside of our “bubble” of quarantine fellows, etc. Yes, it has been indisputably difficult to confine ourselves to our homes and neighbourhoods, but we all know that it is absolutely necessary if we are to triumph over the COVID-19 virus.

As always, to those of you deemed “essential workers,” and indeed, to everyone, please take all possible precautions in order to keep yourselves as protected from infection as can be. Now that students are returning to school and fresh outbreaks are inevitable, it is especially important not to let up on those safety protocols. We must not surrender to “COVID fatigue!”

This is our sixth virtual MonSFFA meeting. Today’s get-together will unfold right here on the club’s Web site over the course of the afternoon, beginning with this first post, and followed by subsequent posts at 1:30PM, 2:30PM, 3:00PM, and 4:00PM, with a concluding post at 4:30PM. All content will also be available concurrently on MonSFFA’s Facebook page (www.facebook.com/MonSFFA), however, the interface best suited for taking in this meeting is this very Web site.

As we cannot yet safely assemble face-to-face in a meeting hall, this September virtual meeting has been prepared especially for you, MonSFFA’s membership. Sit back, check out each of the afternoon’s posts, scroll down leisurely through the proffered content, and enjoy! And do comment on what we’ve put up. Let us know what you think about specific topics presented or the meeting overall. Your input helps us to tailor these virtual meetings for maximum interest and enjoyment.

5) APRIL’S TRIVIA CHALLENGE: WINNERS TO BE NAMED TODAY!

Note that we’ll be announcing the first, second, and third place winners of our April virtual meeting’s trivia challenge during today’s mid-meeting break via our Zoom session! Join us at 2:30PM for that announcement.

Designed as a combination online/in-person contest, we had originally expected to conclude our challenge by mid-summer, at the latest. We had, upon launching this challenge in April, anticipated returning to in-person meetings post-lockdown within two or three months—surely the coronavirus emergency would by then have ended! But of course, we know now that this despicable virus persists, and that the crisis continues with no return to any kind of meeting-hall gathering likely anytime soon.

That being the unfortunate reality of the situation, we’ve decided to drop the in-person component of the contest and wrap things up with today’s online announcement of the winners, based upon the online entries we’ve received.

We’ll also list those winners, for the official record, in our closing post this afternoon at 4:30PM, along with the correct answers to the 19 sci-fi trivia questions posed.

6) A THIRD PARODY SONG

One of local-girl-makes-good Celine Dion’s biggest hits provided the basis for this amusing coronavirus filksong by Five Times August, another which we first showcased in May (fivetimesaugust@fivetimesaugust.com):

7) WHO WAS THAT MASKED MAN? (QUICK SUPERHERO TRIVIA GAME)

When donning cape and cowl, a superhero assumes the mantle of crime-fighter, valiant defender of the innocent, and crusader for all that is good and moral and proper. But whether it’s a pivotal, character-defining moment that starts them off on a virtuous mission to right wrong, or a bizarre lab accident, exposure to radiation, or strange chemical reaction which bestows upon them extraordinary meta-human powers, a superhero lives a double life! It is a cliché of the genre that the superhero, when not exercising the duties of an awesome champion of justice, hides his or her true identity behind the guise of “ordinary citizen,” often the person they were before occurred the incident that set them on their path to superheroism.

In a nutshell, most every superhero has a secret identity! Everyone knows that Superman’s alias is mild-mannered newspaper reporter Clark Kent, Batman’s, wealthy industrialist Bruce Wayne, and Spider-Man’s, young high-schooler Peter Parker.

But do you know to which comic book superheroes these 19 lesser known alter-egos or secret identities belong? We’ll run the answers this afternoon in our closing Post 6 of 6 at 4:30PM.
