So this is the start of Project Blood Bowl, I suppose.
I have the old pitch and templates but I know they're slightly small for the 3rd edition rules and onwards.
So I might buy a newer pitch in or build one.
The one thing I know I definitely want to build is the dugout - that's the bit that allows the most scope for modelling.
As always, it starts with sketches
And then scale plans.
Armed with these, I cut some offcuts of 3mm mdf to size
And spend a princely £4.25 on eBay to acquire some rather nice precut polystyrene bricks.
A quick half hour later and we have
At this point, I face a Design Dilemma. The original plan meant that the reroll and turn tracker would sit onto the top of the dugout for storage like so:
However, poking through the bits box that the Fragrant Lady West bought for me ages ago gave me lots of other stuff to work with. So did I stick with the original plan or cover the dugout with spiky bits?
It's Bloodbowl. I spiked the Hell out of that thing.
Tomorrow I'll add some sand for the floor and finish off the turn tracker etc.
Total cost of the dugout is currently £4.25 for the bricks. Everything else is from the bits box.
As always, thanks for your support :)
Looking good, so far. But how many times do you reckon you'll stab yourself on those spikes while playing? ;)
ReplyDeleteFrequently - but the blood will simply add to the Bloodbowlness of it all. Blood for Nuffle!
