Finally working on a Bengals gameboard!
 

Guys,

You might find this amusing, but I don't even have my own custom board for my beloved BENGALS!!!! :confused: mgngcrz .

I have finally started working on a design and I would like some feedback.

Step one is the playing field... I am building an all time Bengals team modeled after their 80s uniforms. Here is a graphic based on the original "Jungle":fghttt: ... Riverfront stadium.

I tried to mimic the astroturf color and the old bengals script logo. I also placed the Cincy Reds baseball field in the exact location as the original. The bases and pitching mound were removable but the area around them was permanently stained from their dirt. Let me know what you think...

I am sure it is going to be well thought out and the quality is going to be in a league of it's own.
Can't wait to play on it this fall.
I also have some custom figures { e-gridiron } for you if you want to take a look at them.

Have you ever figured out how many hours you have in just building a custom board ? Frame and field only , no finishing touches.

Just a wood frame and field, ready to plug in and play, takes about 20 hours. A full custom with upholstery takes about 30 hours. ;)

Nice
 

Great stuff Roller. I always like the Bengals earlier uniforms better (the ones with the word Bengal on the side of the helmet). I believe those were from the '70's. I think they went to the tiger stripes in the early 80's.

Love the 80's uniforms
 

But if i were you I'd scratch that stadium they had.In a perfect world those 80's Bengals should have played on this new stadium they have now that is awesome in every way. That old stadium was ugly and nasty, and i have talked to several bengal players that said they hated that field. Definately go with the 80's team,but with the new field. thmbsp$ thmbsp$ thmbsp$ thmbsp$ thmbsp$ thmbsp$ thmbsp$ thmbsp$

Will you add some texture on the field too ?

I'm sure it will look great, Now we need to get you into the Mid-Ohio league and playing some games.thmbsp$ thmbsp$

Texture
 

The image doesn't show but the final product has a fine texture that looks like turf...

Coach thanks for everything you have shared with me in the board making process...
 

funny thing I too have been working on my new Cardinals field and ....it seems like a 4 month project for me and it's mines....man others 1-2 and they are gone...Roller is that called self neglect or over-outer commitment:eek: :rtfl: :rtfl: :rtfl: :rtfl: :rtfl: :rtfl: :rtfl:

Amen...
 

KC,

I really appreciate your thank you. And yes, I believe that it is over commitment!!!mgngcrz
