The Road To NOVA part 9

Too Busy to take pictures.

Hello all,

Just a quick update. Yesterday we had our 2nd build for March. It was a strange but overall successful day. Our Target number was 65 we manager to hit 38 pieces of terrain built. Here is how this was a success.

• There was a tournament down South that many of our prime builders and artists attended rather than spend the day cutting foam and gluing pieces together. (Fun over work? What were they thinking) ;p
• We only had between 3 and 5 builders at any given time. (thanks Guys)
  
• Our Grand Poo-bah was not available to assist.
• On the time saver front Mrs. RGH figured out a super time saving way to efficiently cut foam board. (Way to go baby)
  
• Our team worked in a strong assembly line format that allowed us to make all the parts first then build the heck out of them. (38 peices in about 3 hours) NOT BAD!

In all it was a success.

Until next time

The Road to the NOVA 2012 Part 8

March Madness in the form of buildings!!!!

Used without permission


Hello all,

This past Saturday we had the first build session for March! For those that were there FANTASTIC JOB!!!! You folks went above and beyond expectation. We had a goal of 50 buildings for the day - constructed and ready for texture we managed to do 51. That in itself was huge but wait there's more.....

We also knocked out the remaining 30 hills for a grand total of 81 pieces of terrain ready for texture and paint! WAY TO GO TEAM!

Our people really showed their artistic talents on Saturday as they did not let a little thing like a deadline stop them from producing scenery that would make the folks at warhammer world Green with envy.

These 5 members of team 1 worked hard and knocked out well over their quota of foam-board ruins



This is just a (very) small sample of what was built on Saturday! Wait till you see what we do to them next!



The Artists from team 2 are seen here showing why they earn the big bucks! (or would if we paid them!)



Just take a look at some the pieces that will be in use at the 2012 NOVA. I for one cannot wait to see them finished.

Not all of the work completed Saturday was of the building kind. someone had to make the really cool bases that all of our NOVA terrain will sit on. It's a thankless job but someone has to do it. This time around that someone was Frank. A special thanks to you buddy!



Man that is a lot of Sawdust! good thing my suggestion to do the sanding in the living room got vetoed!

THANKS L.

All the while our NOVA Executive Director was slaving away at the computer making sure that the event WILL go off without a hitch!

As always the eats were not to be missed. But you better get their fast before our hungrier staffers get to the treats!



Save some for the rest of us.

I hope to see everyone at the next session.
