Finally working on my own gameboard!

[roller]

Guys,

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

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" ... 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.

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.

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.

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.

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