Qantas Display 2002
The Qantas display I designed and made at our StudioM workshop. Qantas saves Christmas by offering to help Santa after his sleigh had a slight mishap during a duststorm outback of WoopWoop. I realised after looking at it upside down that if we removed the Q from Qantas and brought the S on the end to replace the Q, we had the word SANTA - so that's what I did. The elves are rearranging the letters on the 737 and the elf in the front is receiving the key to start it from a high Qantas official while carrying a book titled '737 Manual - How to fly'. The presents are being loaded onto the plane from the sleigh, which is stuck in the top of 'Ned's Outback Delivery' truck. This relates to another scene which I designed and was later displayed at Garden City - see the humorous design drawing in my Sketch Designs set. The story is written on the newspaper at left being held by a Qantas maintenance guy and tells the story of Santa flying through a duststorm in Outback Australia and ending up on the back of a truck, 'Ned's Outback Deliveries', spilling the presents. Qantas, being the good Aussie, helps Santa by giving his elfy helpers a plane to use so they can deliver the presents. Peter with his incredible skills meticulously carved the Boeing from a piece of styrene 200x600x25mms so that it is 3D and in perspective - the wing is paper thin - it took him 2 days and no one else could have done it. Juanita made elves in Clifton to my drawing and specification notes. All original drawings, sketches and specifications are retained by StudioM as copyright holders.
