Denver Comic Con 2016

The 2016 Denver Comic Con was a unique experiance. We were not on the main convention floor this year, but in the lobby of the BellCo Theater downstairs. There were carpeted floors, and a reduced area for our display which made for some challenges. All the builders helped and we made it work.

We chose the theme: “Televison and Movie Backlot.” The builders created scenes of tv and movies being filmed at CoWLUG’s backlot. We had 2001, Die Hard 2, Scooby-Doo, James Bond, and multiple Star Wars set pieces being filmed. There had to be a film crew, director, and any crew or extras associated with filming, the results were better than expected with some clever scenes.
