Re: Building a foldable pitch - Work in Progress
And some new updates:
The scoreboard is in a soon to be completed status:

Still have to fix it on a base drybrush it.
The Weather Goblin Commentator Tower in a very early stage:

and a first concept for the 10x10cm area to the bottom left of each coach.
Currently planing to print something like this on it:

but I am still not 100% sure in wich types i should write the short cutted Kick Off Table.... since its pretty small it has to be easy to read

Re: Building a foldable pitch - Work in Progress
Just a thought. If you print the identicle template on each side of the pitch then you will have inconsistant numbers on your bounce template.
Example: A roll of 4 for you will be 5 for your opponent.
Then there might be fits thrown about which way the ball should bounce.
I suppose you could always just make the house rule that whoever is rolling uses their own template though.

Update - The Scoreboard.
On a 11.5x10cm MDF Board with a 0.5cm thick cork plate on top the scoreboard was placed.
The Scoreboard was made the same way as the fences from wooden coffee sticks (thanks again McD).
The Score Plates can be placed on the board on a little hook.

The complete scoreboard plate has to be placed in one of the free spots between Reroll/Turnmarker Area and the Dugout Zone.

The Weather Tower:
Here a first pic of the base of it. Again MDF Board with cork on it and grass.
Aswell on it is already the "mini-tower" for the Camera Snot.

and the current status of the "real" Weather Tower

Re: Building a foldable pitch - Work in Progress
Just made a new try in how to paint the Weather Goblins...

Ignore the bases since they have to be placed in the Weather Tower later.
Do you think they look ok-ish? Or do they look bad?

Looks like Garion's speed painting method.
I think that given what you're using them for they look fine. Although I would recommend re highlighting the white bits to help clean them up a bit.

Re: Building a foldable pitch - Work in Progress
Well update time:
Some pictures of the Weather Tower in different stages:


and the currently "nearly final" status of the Weather Tower:

and since the weathertower and the scoreboard doesnt fit into the stadion if its folded I had to make an extra Box for the two pieces to transport:

Gotta love those weather goblins!

Just one tip, instead of letting all the walls behind the gobos in wood, why dont you decorate them with fitting colours, or posters to reinforce the 'different weather' idea?
