NOVA is almost here..

 Which means I'm pretty much losing my mind. This addition to my displayboard is making me nuts haha.. Because of health issues I was way behind this year so I'm even farther against the wall. I'm actually under the wall 8) But it is coming along.

The second floor will be the Hall of Honor to remember the fallen with two walls of names and four statues.
 Here's some pictures of the bottom level.. it will have mechanics down there .. in the pic I'm testing the bulkhead and door lights.

 Hopefully tonight I'll finish up installing the final 32 LEDs, this weekend I need to wrap up all the wiring and get the UNOs driving it. So many lights... so much wire.  When all's said and done I think there are over 100 LEDs in this section.
It's coming along .. just have to keep pushing on. Argh..  well..  less then a week and still a ton to go but at least the end is in sight.
