Ipms Orange County IPMS ORANGE COUNTY Newsletter – April 2017 Volume 25 # 4 Southern California’s Premier Model Club The President’s Column By David Frederick “OC President: Takes First place at ValleyCon and Silicon Valley” In This Issue Who is crazy enough to attend a Table of Contents Page model contest on Saturday and Vice Presidents Column 3 Sunday, when the contests are over Monthly Contest Themes 6 400 miles from each other? Your Financials 8 President of course, who else? USA Membership 9 Silicon Valley show was held in OC Membership Form 10 Northern California, and the Insane Candid Meeting Photos 11 Model Posse set out in my car to National Convention Sponsor 15 break it in. This year’s show had a Largest Scale Armor Collection 16 respectable Raffle table to pick IPMS OC Contest Tables 17 from. Monthly Contest Results 24 Re-Building the Lindberg I-53 25 Fred Horky comments on I-53 31 IPMS Silicon Valley Classic 35 Rainbow Canyon re-visit 41 Mary Ellis – Spitfire Pilot 48 Orange Circle Car Show 52 Local Club Meetings 61 Upcoming Events 65 I won a 1/350 scale BB-55 North Carolina Trumpeter ship model. I took first place for my Battlestar Galactica Viper MKVII; there were about eight other models in that category so it was a good accomplishment. ValleyCon the same model took first, but it was the only model in the category, “If you do not bring it you cannot place.” IPMS ORANGE COUNTY Newsletter April 2017 The President’s Column Up north in San Jose, Mark Glidden placed first with his newly finished Japanese WWII airplane “Tony," which is just arriving in the hobby stores. Lily Liu, who is a junior modeling advocate as she organizes other teens to show up to the Silicon Valley show to enter models. She is part of the IPMS Bay Area Dragons Juniors club. Wouldn’t it be great to have someone like her in Southern California, as we need someone to keep the modeling hobby alive in our younger folks as we are not getting any younger? ValleyCon on Sunday had many familiar faces as our Vice President Sean Fallesen accepting his award and getting photo bombed by George Creed. This year unlike last the vendors were inside the building. Tamiya, who sponsored a Tamiya build award was present and showed off all the new kits that just come out. For the second time in a row the ValleyCon show was held at the Petersen Automotive museum. There seems to be a car for everyone. Just take a look as I jump in like Speed Racer, in the Mach Five replica, Go Speed Racer… GO. 2 IPMS ORANGE COUNTY Newsletter April 2017 The President’s Column In the past few years the ValleyCon show has been dominated by car and science fiction modeler’s. There seem to be less Science Fiction models than the previous two years; however the quality tipped the scale. I have never seen a 3D printed model of the Disney movie Black Hole: Cygnus. To top it off it was lit up and took home the Best of Show. Same modeler did the Valley Forge spaceship from the 70’s science fiction Silent Running.

Vice President’s Column By Sean Fallesen Overcoming a couple of hiccups, the product demonstrations at last month’s meeting turned out satisfactory, in my own assessment. But it seems I’m a bit out-of-touch, because we’ve received several very positive comments about them, and we hear that the shops were deluged with requests for the products that were shown. I confess, I was worried about running product demos – especially the photoetch railings with Gator’s Grip Glue that I personally presented. It doesn’t seem to me that it was that long ago when I presented on the same subject… but in fact, it has been at least 4 years, probably more. My worry about repeating material too soon since the last time is running afoul of my “old timer’s” sense of dates – that is, in most cases, it really has been a lot longer than I think it has, and it’s worth revisiting now. 3 IPMS ORANGE COUNTY Newsletter April 2017 Vice President’s Column So, I feel I should apologize; I hadn’t realized how much of a hunger there was for these types of technique and product exhibitions; and will work to incorporate more of them going forward. So, following up on last month’s specific product demonstrations, this month we’ll be seeing a broader-scope exhibition illustrating how to take multiple materials and methods and incorporating them into a creative whole, as Foster Rash goes into the construction of diorama structures. Looking ahead, in May we will have our annual Build Night; while I don’t expect to have a formal program, the nature of a build night is such that everyone ought to be talking and sharing with each other as we practice our hobby together. Maybe we’ll even arrive at some requests or, better still, offers for a future presentation? June, of course, is our semi- annual Distressed Kit Auction; no other program for that month. We’ll get another demo night in July or August.

Also need to have the person find out why the camera wasn't able to project the demos up on the screen this past meeting. The club also has a laptop that is part of the demo equipment. Please see David Frederick if you would like to be the AV person for the meetings. 7 IPMS ORANGE COUNTY Newsletter April 2017 From Our Treasurer Financial Statistics for the meeting in March 2017 Admission Distressed Kits $ 0.00 Members 31 Monthly Raffle $ 97.00 Non-Members 2 Juniors 0 Total Income $ 420.00 Paid in Full 6 Total Expenses $ (748.93) Guests 4 Profit / (Loss) $ (328.93) Total Attendance 43 $ in Checking $ 770.07 $ in Savings $ 9,663.93 Memberships / Renewals $ in PayPal $ 250.69 Regular 7 Total in Bank $ 10,684.69 Youth 0 Full Year 0 8 IPMS ORANGE COUNTY Newsletter April 2017 Membership is of great importance, both here at the level of the local chapter as well as the National level.

  • Speed Racer Presented with Support from Speed Racerpaul L
    TREASURES FROM THE YALE FILM ARCHIVE WEDNESDAY AN ONGOING SERIES OF CLASSIC AND CONTEMPORARY FILMS PRESENTED IN 35MM BY THE YALE FILM STUDY CENTER JULY 17, 2019 7 PM • WHITNEY HUMANITIES CENTER SPEED RACER PRESENTED WITH SUPPORT FROM SPEED RACERPAUL L. JOSKOW ’70 M.PHIL., ’72 PH.D. The “demon on wheels” takes a lap through a formalist film fantasia in SPEED RACER, the Wachowskis’ 2008 action comedy that’s equal parts BEN-HUR, MARIO KART, THE CASTLE OF CAGLIOSTRO, and THE WACKY RACES. Love it or loathe it, this “poptimistic photo-anime” (in the words of the filmmakers) revs up Eric Thurm’s rules for a successful anime adaptation: “First, get earnest. Second, get expressionist. Finally, get corny.” The Speed Racer character took the wheel for the first time in the summer of ’66 in the manga series Mach GoGoGo, which was No. followed a year later by a televised anime series. Like the 2008 film, Mach GoGoGo was a family enterprise with international S 14 E 5 influences. Series creator Tatsuo Yoshida based Speed on the racer Elvis played in VIVA LAS VEGAS (thus the pompadour), and A S O N Speed’s tricked-out car was inspired by 007’s gadget-packed Aston Martin in GOLDFINGER. Tatsuo’s brother and creative partner Toyoharu said the series “was based strictly on our all-out adoration of America.” A dubbed version of the anime series arrived in America in 1967, where an ABC run was followed by years of syndication in the 1970s, and the series reached a new audience with an early 90s run on MTV.

Without a would lose its main weapon I M I e has Yu Suzuki got to give? 53876 025S5 opening The Art of Virtua Fighter Without Yu Suzuki, Sega would be dead. As head of R&D for Sega's Amusement Division, Yu Suzuki is to Sega what Shigeru Miyamoto (the creator of Mario and Donkey Kong) is to Nintendo. Put simply, he creates the lifeblood of the company — and he is indispensable. Without the trickle down of Suzuki's coin-op classics from the arcades to Saturn, Sega would lack its killer weapons with which to battle Sony's PlayStation. Yu Suzuki's list of credits as head of Sega's AM2 team reads like a rundown of arcade gaming's greatest hits. From 1985's pioneering trio of Hang On, Space Harrier, and Out Run, through the evolution of 1987's After Burner into 1990's G-LOC and R-360, Suzuki's AM2 team has blazed a trail that others only did their best to follow.
