The Last (Hopefully) Build session for 2013!

Play that funky music NOVA Boy

Hello all,

This past Saturday we had what I hope is the last build for 2013. With about a month to go we really need to focus our energy on other matters.

In all the day went well. Lots of new terrain from Tectonic Craft Studios was built and painted to what I like to call the "Nova Standard" Take a look.

Lots of cool stuff

first batch of assembled pieces

More Parts

2nd wave coming up!

Get some paint on that thing!

Check out the roof on that one.

Starting on the base

Boxes and fences (Base coated)

We also finished up some hills that were actually built 2 years ago! Talk about "on back order."
These things were already pretty good but they needed some Nova style TLC to really make them pop. Our Dry brush team went straight to work fixing any damage and flocking up any place that needed it. Check it out!

This team is dedicated!

All lined up

Ready for the NOVA

The Nova staff outdid themselves this week with a magnificent Chinese feast for lunch! I don't want to comment on the food, too much as I have not had lunch yet today, but I will admit that getting back to work afterwards was a challenge.

Let the Feast begin!

3 kinds of pudding for dessert!

We did not get everything we intended finished, but we did get enough done to allow everything else to be done as home work. I myself took 7 kits with me that will be talked about in an upcoming post.

Think Cho Cho!

Well that's it for now.

Later

Build Session July 13th 2013

Action!

Hello All,

Yesterday we had the 2nd to last build session for NOVA 2013. I have to say we really kicked some Butt on this one. Infinity Terrain is down for the count and our eyes are firmly fixed on Warmachine! Since pictures can tell  a story better than I can I think I will let them do the talking.

"And --- Here--- We---Go!"

Corvus Belli  and KR Multicase are both big time supporters of the NOVA open. and I was luck enough to get a glimpse of some of the cool stuff that has shown up recently. Don't tell Mike I showed you...

Good stuff

I'm in heaven

Secret Sneak peek

WOW!

Not to be outdone KR kicks it up a notch 

  

Storage

Storage for a large convention is always a nightmare but team NOVA can find a solution for anything.

Check out what we did.

As you can see we have too much stuff for the storage unit. 

So we got extra storage delivered. (here we see Mike and Pryts moving it into position) 

To help with the hauling meet the newest member of the NOVA team!

Whats Next?

WARMACHINE

Next week is the last build session for 2013. We will be concentrating on the WarMachine/ Hordes terrain primarily from Tectonic Craft Studios another strong supporter of the 2013 NOVA open. Till then I will leave you with this Picture of some finished Warmachine buildings that were built by our staff and painted yesterday.

Pretty cool huh?

Over all yesterday was one our best build days this year. So to everyone that was here in congratulations on a job well done! Group hug everyone...

Pryts looks like he is enjoying this waaay to much.

Till next time
