I am almost done the new pitch for RainCity. I only have to paint the stones on the floor for one dugout, put in furniture and light fixtures and then spray the logo in the middle of the field... but that will all take time as I need to find most of these things...or scratch build it all. Anyways... what do you think?
Oh.. just so you know.. the two larger stones by the scatter template will stand two scantily clad women holding score cards. Still have to find the models for that.

Really like the open graves. Nice touch.
Very cool pitch, looks heavy.

Yea... they do look heavy. But really they are quite surprizingly light. They are made with polystyrene. The heaviest part is the thin piece of hardboard I use for the base.
I just need Odin to come over with his airbrush so we can spray the logo onto the center of the pitch.

I think you want Reaper's Korin, Female Barbarian:
Other Reaper possibilities include Tyden, Female Barbarian:
...Melorian, Female Fighter:
...Felicia of the Blade:
...and Jade, Dancing Girl:

Exactly -- the Hasslefrees did come to mind as they are great figs, but none of them seem to actually fit the pose for the need Sallacious described.
Although... if he wanted to get creative, the Gymnast could always hold a card with her feet:

Nice stuff. How is the grass made? Could you post a picture closer to the pitch?

love the pitch. did you follow the directions in bb mag 4? How did you measure out the bb squares? They aren't exactly uniform, and I found it to be such a pain in the ass that I just quit with my first attempt.

Wow... nice compliment. Everything was carved by hand using an xacto blade and polystyrene. Including the squares.

Sadly enough, I have yet to see any blood bowl mags. *hides his face in shame* I still have the 3rd Ed. board and used that to measure where the lines are supposed to be so the playing field is the same as the board itself... that way I can still use the range ruler
Nice stuff. How is the grass made? Could you post a picture closer to the pitch?
Absolutely! Next time GeneralJason comes over, I will have him take more images. Closer to playing level. The grass is Woodland Scenics static grass flock. I used the Dark Green colour.
Really nice pitch!!

They look really cool!!
It's all hand made. I just don't have the money to buy molds... yet.
I am going to start a new pitch very soon. I will take pictures of it stage by stage and then post it on our website under "How To..." The whole project will take me a couple of weeks... just because making these pitches can be monot... monoton.... er... boring.
