FedCon 29 | Vortrag | Vom Original ins Regal | by Jeanette Müller

How is a reproduction of a popular scene from TV or cinema, a diorama, created?

In the showroom you can admire many models, but how are they created in the first place. You can buy kits or design, model or 3D print them yourself. They also have to be painted and then soiled in a lifelike way. Have you heard everything before, but how does it all fit together?

In my lecture From the original to the shelf at FedCon 29 I would like to tell you in anecdotes about one of my models from the TV series The Expanse what is necessary to bring a model here in the exhibition room and later on to your own shelf. And what can happen. Curious situations, crass mistakes and misjudgements and sometimes even luck are part of everyday life here. Accompanies me on a 5 month journey, from the first idea to the completion.

Will you reach for brushes and glue afterwards?

Lecturer: Jeanette Müller

Duration: 45 min - The Lecture will be held in: german

My name is Jeanette Müller and I was born in Munich. Today I am 38 years young and live in Stuttgart.

Besides my professional activity as software developer, I develop apps for smartphones, my reality Star Trek, I also try my hand at cosplaying. Uniforms are my favourite part of it. SeaQuest, The Orville, Star Trek and The Expanse to name but a few.

I come to FedCon as a science fiction fan and especially as a model builder. Already in the 90s I have built everything what the market has given away. Of course Star Trek spaceships, the station Babylon 5, star destroyers or submarines from SeaQuest. Since 2018 I have been building almost exclusively models from the TV series The Expanse.

Already in 2019 I exhibited some models at the FedCon. This year there are a few new models on the start.
