Finally working on my own gameboard!

[roller]

I've made good progress on my board... It's been tough to fit it in between all the boards I'm making

The frame is complete and the surface is ready... I just need to add feet and electronics...

I'm also adding some newly designed player trays for this gameboard built out of PVC and styrene...

Frank Jacobs came up with this idea, and then I ran with it... Here is the design drawings of the top half of my beloved Riverfront stadium, represented as a player tray!!

That's looking VERY, VERY good. A simple touch but man does it add some "WOW" appeal the the board. With your skills the details will be fantastic. Really looking forward to seeing the finished product!

That board is going to be great looking. The white makes it contemporary and even elegant (in the art sense). The use of the stadium accents as the player trays is also a perfect use of design as function. Needless to say, I (we) are very impressed with your design skills AND ability to make them work.

I also just saw the subtle hint of the dirt staining on the field, that too is a very nice touch. I never knew the Reds played on turf. Grounders must be punishing on that field.

I can't wait to see the finished board.

Cheers,
Michael

Thanks everyone, but I have to give credit for the idea to

Frank Jacobs aka Franny-j-boy.

We met up a few weeks ago, and he hit me with this idea... I just about fainted when he told me about it. I drew this up and asked Frank if this was what he was picturing in his head... He said I nailed it!

I have to give a huge thanks to Frank. He has given me so many ideas over the last couple of years... He is a huge asset to the hobby!!!

David, that board is really taking shape. I too love the shaped design of the player trays, nice touch. Now with that being said, my Brownies can't wait to tear up that turf

Looking Great David, I hope the finished product is as good as the pic!!

Great Idea Frank!
