Lovely work. I can smell the 70s.

This thread is outstanding and is rapidly becoming the one I go to first when I log in!

I was a steward at a certain football ground in the seventies - yellow coat, badge and, "Sorry mate, you can't bring alcohol into the stadium. You'll have to leave it in this bin." And all for a fiver a week and all the ditched booze you could take home at the end of the match.

Maybe there's scope in the build for a mounted police officer outside the turnstile, a couple of stewards and a bin full of bevvy? "Capture the bin" might make for a short skirmish game.

Thanks Again.

I'm open to any ideas or suggestions. Was there a sign saying no alcohol beyond this point or just two brave men in yellow coats asking lunatics to hand over their ale.

Brilliant. I think my mate used to live in that house.

Tempted now to do a street, myself.

Great stuff. The graffiti looks spot on, love the goal posts and 'no ball games' sign.

A couple of mounted officers would make a good addition to the range.

For graffiti I use a white gel pen, much easier than a paint brush.
Of the period I did see... 'Free the ITV 7' and added to 'Free George Davis' the words 'with every 4 gallons'.

Just two not very brave students with a few hard core mounted Police officers around them telling the guys to dump their super lagers in the bin! Mostly we got away with it but, in retrospect, it was the ignorance of youth which got us through . . . and the aforsaid super lager we pinched out of the bin at 3.10 every second Saturday! Happy days!!!

Got a bit of time to do some more today. Roof on Terrace Stand, railings on turnstile and exit gate and get a bit done on other stand that will complete the corner section of the stadium.

The railings on the turnstile and exit section were made using a plastic ladder I picked up from my local model shop not sure on scale. I just cut one side of the ladder off and that was that.

The terraced stand (The Talbot Road End) roof finished just steps and lots of fans to do, I've added a couple more fans an ainsty hooligan pointing and a converted rogue miniature waving flag.

The Main Stand which will be standing at the bottom and seated on the second tier.

Ace. Are you gonna put these on a 3D block, or just use them as frontages?

orm1 · « **Reply #58 on:** October 20, 2014, 06:29:57 PM »

I'm gonna stick them on a 3D block although I'm thinking of maybe not fixing them permantley in place so that I could change the look of the table by just changing the frontages of the buildings, though I've not decided yet.

My day off today and been messing about trying to get the second tier of my main stand sorted, trying to figure out the size of the steps for seats and some steps as driven me mental.

Bit more done. Corrugated side and back on. Plus the start of the second tier steps
