Default New Home Field

Today marked the debut of the new home field for the PAC 10 Clemson Tigers and the LAEFL NY Jets.

Under construction for the last few months as time permitted, today it was finally finished.

Runs on six Radio Shack rotary motors, drawing juice from a 10 amp variable speed power supply. She really runs smooth, boosting the fastest figures from end to end in seconds and giving mad push to the strongest figures in the trenches.

Inspired by the Field of Dreams Monster Board I have made by Bill Porche. Thank you Billy for the advice you have given me and for letting me pick your brain the times we hung out at your shop over the last couple of years.

Cover by Weirdwolf, looks good Lynn, I love it, thanks!

Frame and motors by Shabby

A BIG SHOUT OUT to Rick "Pirate Rick" Garrison too for the building tips and for helping me with the final wiring out of the Pirates Den!

Thank you All Electronics... we needed an ON - ON toggle!!!!!!!

Well done! Really like the worn look of the field cover.

That looks cool Shabby! Love the look on the wood. The whole thing looks so classic.

Shabby had me working hard on this one to give it that worn look. Here are some of the proofs of the art.

Shabby,
the board looks awesome. To make your own board is very special, a true home field advantage. Nice job.
Joe
