Ok, you can come to the next B7: 26./27.06.2010

I think you have some chance to win the Best Stadium award.

This one was pretty cool (from B7):
When I get time (in 60 years) I want to make a stadium like this for my collection.

Wow!! I'm guessing that was done with those Hirstarts molds I keep hearing about.

WOW ! This looks like Nimes Arena (Nimes is a city in south of France) where Metallica made a live on last 07/07. As I really love arenas for their history this pitch is really great. I don't know if the pic is wrong but I'd prefer grey stones instead of orange.

... and yes I was at the Met's live in these arenas

COME CRAWLING FASTER ... ! oups sorry

Makes me look at my own pitches and want to chuck them in the bin!

I would love to see more on how you built that lizzie pitch and look forward to your work in the future.

BTW - if you happen to be in Ontario in April, you might want to come out to my tournament - there is a prize for best cutom pitch - something makes me think that you would win that!

That Colloseum makes me weep when I think of how much casting would be involved to make it happen. It must weigh an absolute tonne too.

Still... really lovely

I keep coming back to this page. Simply amazing!

You've inspired me to give my own pitch a shot. Did you make the case yourself or was it purchased? I've been to some local craft/hobby stores and can't find anything close.

I made the case myself, with this very helpful guide.

Many thanks!
I was trying to be a bit lazy and find one I could convert, but haven't found anything big enough.

I love your design - I've also found a design I like here:
http://rc-racing.org.uk/index.php?showtopic=9873

Now, I'm not in love with what he did with the design in the end, but I like the idea of the dice tower and will try to design my pitch with one. Yours is definitely the highest inspiration, though - many thanks!

Next I'll need to decide on materials - your foam board worked out incredibly well.
