Hello all,


Here is a sneak peek of items for the Infinity table I am working on for NOVA 2013. Jersey walls, crates, and fuel canisters. Much like the monument project from last year this is waaay more work than I anticipated. I think it will be worth it in the end.

The parts...

Hello All,

Yesterday I attended another Nova Build session and some serious progress was made. We got a ton of stuff pushed through the first three coats and many more were accented with reds browns and greens. We even managed to get a bunch of stuff flocked. Check out the pictures.

Primed stuff from last time

Serious work getting done.

Only cool people work for NOVA

The 25th was a windy day!

Till next time.

Not for NOVA but a kindred spirit

Hello all,

I just wanted to share an activity I was able to participate in this past weekend. This is not NOVA related but in the spirit of what the NOVA is at heart I thought it appropriate.

Last Sunday the 2013 Marine Corps Historic half was held in Fredericksburg, Virgina. I was drafted by the missis to to support the runners at mile marker 8 as part of Team Fisher House. We wore Cow hats and rang cowbells cheering the runners on. This yeas theme was "Get more cowbell" this was reference to the SNL sketch from back in 2000

 By the end of 3 hours I could  hardly stand under my own power but it was an amazing experience! I intend to wear the cow had at the NOVA this year so if you see it you will know what it's about. 

Pictures from race day can be found here.

Till next time,

RGH
