Big House "Brick" Addition
 
4 Attachment(s)
Check out the brick wall border that I added around the perimeter of my Michigan field made by Mega Wattz. The "brick" is actually a sheet of plastic film with 3D bricks that I found in the doll house section at Hobby Lobby. The cool thing is that the film is formed so the bricks have real 3D shape to them. I simply attached the film to the side walls with the putty adhesive that many people use to weight bases. The Big House at Michigan along with several stadiums around the country have the classic brick structures so I thought people would be interested in this. The sheet stock came in an 11x17 sheet at Hobby Lobby for $7. Once I cut it into strips at the width I wanted the one sheet is all I needed to go around the perimeter of this field. I believe there are various styles of doll house brick that you can find anywhere that supplies items for doll houses. Matt Culp's (Silverhourse) Florida Gator field (The Swamp) was my inspiration for doing this- thanks for the tips Matt.

I'm full steam ahead on reviving my MF Michigan team with full squads of custom and stock figures for any style of play. Someone wrote about do you play with passion, and with this team its an emphatic YES! Go Blue
