Hobby Project - Input required
Posted: Sat Oct 31, 2009 3:01 pm
Hey everyone
Been lurking here for a few months, but was wondering if I could get some insight into a hobby project.
I like to use Castlemolds from Hirst Arts. I've built a few projects including my own game called Hippodrome (think Ben-hur chariots with 15mm minatures).
Now I want to try building a 3D BB pitch. I have the design and about 1/5 of the blocks already cast. It will have full benches with some elevated areas for staff etc. When done (at my rate in about a year and half!) I'll post some pics.
Now castlemolds for floors only come in 1 inch and 1 1/2 inch sizes. I debated this for a month and decided the larger size would be easier to use, look much better and fit the figures easier. However this means my templates now are too short.
Does anyone have suggestions on how to make templates that would be appropriate for a pitch where the squares are 1 1/2 inches in size? I'd hate to punish all the throwing teams by using standard ones.
thanks
BTW this is a great site!!!!
