Now that I'm out of the competition I can post more than one picture
of the disused (American) Football stadium.
Here are the first eight.

Yeah, likewise - I thought it was a jungle temple in the competition picture.

It looks so much better in these pictures. 1000 pixels really wasn't enough to capture the detail in the pieces :(

Thanks you guys.
My cause was not helped by having to choose just one picture.
I have no idea how to even begin on a photo montage.
The very nice umpire even had to reduce it to the correct size for me.

Maybe next year I'll work backwards. What one photo would look fantastic?
Then build towards that. lol

In the meantime some more, not all, of the pictures.

Very cool build with loads of details that can be missed.  A montage would have done it more justice.

I'm not sure what software you use, but there are a bunch of photo montage sites online

The first one that popped up (I've never used it, so no idea if it's any use) is https://www.canva.com/features/photomontage/

Well worth exploring, as ultimately it's fairly straightforward to do. Given the complexity you dealt with during your build, it shouldn't be a problem lol

I might have missed it earlier in the build thread, but what did you use for the curved girder holding the goal posts up?

(is it called a goal post in Yankee hand-egg sportsball? can you tell I don't sportsball?)

 lol lol lol. It is called a goal post or sometimes 'Toasting fork'.
As I didn't have anything suitable I cut up a coat hanger, poured boiling water over it
& bent it to the required shape. Dunking it into cold water to set it. Hope that helps.

Last of the pictures. It is now on the top shelf, along with previous years entries
(anyone remember the abandoned Roller Coaster ?) glaring down at me.
Someday I will put on a Zombie game & get it all down, but for the moment, that is it.
