This week I’ve been planning a custom made scenic Bloodbowl pitch. I have seen a lot of these over the years, no wonder really since they present the opportunity for …more

Seeing a club mate’s continued progress on his pitch, and having had a conversation with another guy at the club about custom pitches whist spectating a frankly ridiculous Apocalypse game, …more

So the plan at the moment is along the lines of… One end zone will be the aforementioned brook. Less touchdown, more splashdown. There will be a waterfall from one …more

Lightning fast updates today, I stuck a strip of foam down behind the end zone, leaving a gap where the endzone is to fill with jumbled rocks. Some test fitting …more

Some more progress, today I started the water feature and got it to this stage. Similar process as the other end – slowly building up by gluing rock shapes together. …more

I found that Sculptamold is often recommended as a sculpting material for scenery. Today I popped down to the local art and craft shop and picked up a bag. Its …more

When I got home from the club yesterday first I was pumped to do some more work on the pitch after an awesome game of Blood Bowl. I started with …more

Alright!  Time for an update. Here’s the most developed half of the pitch: When I last showed photos, I had got to the stage of plastering the edge of the …more

I have started flocking the blood bowl pitch. It’s a really fun stage cause it’s when things are starting to come together. First, using a pipette I soak the previous …more

Progress is stalled on the other half of the pitch because I keep forgetting to pick sticks up when I’m walking about and need some for the dugouts! I have …more

I have learnt how to use the static grass applicator! I was doing two things wrong before – trying to scatter from too high up, and not applying enough. This …more

Putting the two halves of the pitch together really shows how different the flocking technique was for each one. I’m looking forward to bringing up the river half to the …more

Today John came over and inbetween my various DIY tasks we got a fair bit done. I started a bunch of things including the pitch “security” team and detailing the …more

…in my mind even Wood Elves arent above a bit of it. Here we have the hornblowing, flag waving sideline contingent for the Wanderers. They are made from the new …more

Though I’ve been away for a few days, yesterday and today have been quite productive. Firstly, I’ve re-flocked the water half of the pitch, planted trees and covered the case …more

I have a report on home transfer printing to make. The transfers came out fairly sketchy – you can see that where the laser toner didn’t adhere well to the …more

Today I have been hyperdetailing with undergrowth, various scatter materials, more bushes, hoardings, Wood Elf spites (from the new Treeman kit), mushrooms (which are now fly agaric mushrooms, i.e. red …more

Since yesterday’s post I have very much entered the home stretch on my custom Blood Bowl pitch.  I know I’ve said that before in this log but as I write …more

The large magnets are enough to hold the pitch together quite comfortably when closed, but for further reassurance I attached a couple of spiffy looking clips.  And, of course, our …more

I painted the inside panel of the case in off-white emulsion.  I used a bit of crackle glaze to “age” the panel, but not too much as the transfers I …more

One of the end zones in Wildwood Meadows is a small forest creek or stream.  The stream bed has been prepared for ages and this weekend while visiting Cardiff I …more

It’s now reached that point in a project where I have really run out of energy and I am just looking at the things I don’t like about the pitch.  …more
