Preview Day Live, Erin’s Blog 1

Good morning from Pasadena!  This is Erin blogging live from preview day at the Official Battlestar Galactica auction!  I have to say that this place looks incredible.  I’ve included a bunch of pictures for all of you who cant be here, I know you will be floored!

Today I will be continuously updating you guys on the goings on here inside the hangerdeck with photo’s, information, and of course, my general ramblings you’ve come to know and love… (you frakking love it, don’t kid yourselves)  so be ready for a lot of fun, and get ready to bid!

This morning was quite busy for Propworx, we got up early to give the hanger deck one more good look, making sure every item had its place, and every detail was laid out.  We also have a fantastic crew of volunteers that you will see here dressed in costumes, which really add to the scene we’ve set.  The costumers are from a fan board called “The Colonial Fleet.”  These guys are so professional, they were here last auction, and we are so glad to have them again for a second time.  I also want to mention they have made ALL of their own costumes.  WOW!  They looked so good last auction we had people coming up and asking how they got us to let them wear stuff from the show! 

Well, back to the set up, we spent quite a bit of time getting the ships here and put together the last few days, but don’t they look amazing?!  I am very much looking forward to climbing into the cockpit of the Viper mark II, which I will tell you all about in an hour or two in the next blog. 

Here are some photo’s from the CIC area set up, and our lovely TCF volunteers getting things ready.  Don’t worry, I padded them down after they left, the tiny Raptor is safe!  (just kidding guys, these are trustworthy frakkers!) 

Another very cool piece I’ve been looking forward to seeing for months is the Blackbird.  This ship was a huge team effort to put together as you can see, but the finished project is so perfect.  Pick this up and you can make a few stealth trips around the local Sol System! 

 

Well that’s all for now, I’ll catch you guys again in an hour.  Please feel free to comment, and get on the boards and let me know what you want to see pictures of!  Start a thread, lets get some conversation going!  What do you hear?
