This weekend 125.000 people visited the anual Dickens Festijn in the historic centre of Deventer. This adorable family are supporting actors in the cosplay. To put an extra aging to the scene I finished it in sepia.
Charles Dickens, this one's for you!

A fellow named Dymerski on a prop board I'm a member of made this Anubis helmet replica from the movie Stargate. This isn't my work or my photo. A few more details here, www.scifihero.net/forums/lofiversion/index.php/t2675.html

Here are some pictures of our Javelins that Fitz Walker took at the San Antonio Prop Busters 5th Annual Build'n'Fly event for modeler built airplanes (if Fitz hasn't sent them already). The funny thing is neither one of them flew during the event. He had an aileron servo go bad on him. As one of the two people responsible for the event with the club, I spent the whole time helping make sure the event ran smoothly.
I proposed the event as a way of encouraging building among club members. It has been moderately successful. We had 19 registered pilots, which is not too far from our usual 25. Not too bad considering. Another thing about this event is we usually have about twice as many, or more, airplanes than registered pilots. Builders like to show off their stuff. It's really great to go to an event where there are a lot of different airplanes.
We have a pilot's raffle based on one ticket for registering and one ticket for each flight. No money raffle, as this is not a fund raiser. To make the pot sweeter, I donated the Mambo kit I bought from you to the raffle. I have a serious backlog of projects and it wasn't going to built anytime soon. A good portion of the people wanted to win that kit.
The P1 Hand Phaser prop is "fired" by rolling the thumbwheel on top, forward. First the hooded "sight" rises, and then with the wheel at its extreme forward position, the light bulb in the emitter tip is lit. (this means that the actors always "fired" their phasers on the maximum setting!)
The actors also had to simultaneously seem to be pushing the stud on the bottom of the weapon, since that was supposed to be the actual trigger! (the button on the bottom wasn't connected to anything and actually did nothing).
Later in the series the actors were given non-functional dummy props. Eventually they got into the habit of holding their phasers to make it appear as though they were pushing something on top to fire the phaser. This is why fan drawings, including the semi-official Franz Joseph Starfleet Technial Manual, show the "rising sight" on top labeled as the trigger!
NOTE: the ATL replicas were a private project and not made for sale. None are available.
It's been raining like heck the past few days.
Here's the trash bin at Premiere Props, Sun Valley, California.

More stuff by jbum:
A propeller blade and small collection of parts from Trans Canada Airlines flight 810, which crashed into the steep cliffs of Mt Slesse on Dec 9, 1956. All 62 on board the Canadian North Star died. A proper memorial plaque sits further down the mountain.
Battle of Britain Spitfire during a fly past at the Props & Pistons event at the Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Museum.
We visited the set today for the Xmas special for Open All Hours. When we got there they were putting the finishing touches to the display.
If you can't see the pilot, the pilot can't see you!
