Hello there,
At last I have managed to cross my love of terrain building with my DIY amateur enthusiasm. I give you my foldable pitch and stadium, all in one... Well the start of it anyway. So far I have built the hinged case and just finished the actual pitch surface. It is now technically usable which is good as it is needed for a game on Thursday.

The eagle eyed amongst you will notice that the two clasps holding the case together are not the same as each other. They are not fixed down yet. I just posed them for the image.


The pitch from above with the case open.

Some other WIP shots. My next step is to build the dugouts then onto the stands. I will also make a foldout score board and maybe some flood lights. I want to try and achieve a higgledy-piggledy look to the stadium, as if it is overcrowded and run down. Lots of details...






Thanks for looking

Started on one of the dugouts. They will both be different from each other. They are removable so that the board can be folded up.


A close up of the lost and found bucket. You can quite often find the "hotdog" vendor hanging out around here


More to come,
Thanks for looking

Hi,
A small update. I have painted the first dugout. I still need to add props and some posters to give it life.




Cheers 🙂
