Smile Custom Bengals Board Finished!!!

I just finished my newest creation... My new custom Bengals PBS Stadium. It features home and away on off controls, with the home team controlling the speed, and a recessed super smooth control knob. Its field dimensions are 24" x 48" and the play surface is in scale and all graphics are dimensioned and positioned according to exact PBS specifications.

I will post some video when I get a chance. It plays really well and is smooth all over the board!

Here are the pictures below. I also included some pictures of my Bengals players and team on the field.

Smile Board Power

It runs off of a DC wall wart at 1.5V DC and 600mah. The jack is visible in the picture of the home controls (it is to the LEFT of the control knob). I only use one motor (I prefer only one motor) but it is easily expandible to 4 or more with an upgrade to a higher voltage and mah wall wart. It is rated up to 12VDC and several amps of power.

I actually have it wired ready to accept a timer and buzzer as well when I perfect that system.

Thanks for the accolades,

D Roller

That's some nice woodworking! Beautiful field! I love the set-in switches! That is the perfect green grass for up North fields!

Did you do the graphics?

Default Field Graphics

Weirdwolf,

I created the field in AutoCAD first to achieve the right dimensions then I used photoshop with help from photographs and NFL field specifications to achieve the right look and coloring. The endzone graphics were drawn custom along with the bengal at the 50 yard line in photoshop as well.

I really appreciate all of your complements and encouragement!

Anyone have any suggestions for my next board? I need a creative muse...
