Subbuteo Stadium Part 1, Cricket Set Up!

[@soitra]

Looks superb Dean. 3 stands and then the rest terraced is the perfect balance.

@@soitra thanks Darren, I can’t do a 4th stand opposite as it would stop me being able to play cricket from that other side. Just about manage to reach over a single terrace. That’s probably it for a bit.

Really like the touch of the clock on the Grandstand and the non subbuteo floodlights which really suit the cricket stadium.

[@SubbuteoFocus]

Thank you 👍, yes the clock is just about an ok size. I’ve done a video of the football set up which I’ll be uploading in the next couple of days. It doesn’t look too bad but I think the grey suits the Cricket best. I’ve set up the Rugby ready to video as well and I must say I think the tan terracing would probably look better. But I won’t be doing a tan version 😁

[@SubbuteoFocus]

Thanks for dropping by and looking at the video. A quick look at the changes that I've recently made to my set up, I think that's probably it for a while, we'll see! Oh and as you'll see the grey spray paint I used on the tunnel stand wasn't quite right, but I'm going to live with it.

Good looking ground Dean. I liked the original but this is more aesthetically pleasing. 👏 .

[@SubbuteoFocus]

@@DavidPudney-jr4pl thanks David, I can’t see me changing it again in the short term. It sort of works now for Cricket, Football and Rugby, which is where I wanted it to be 👍

[@DavidPudney-jr4pl]

@SubbuteoFocus yes I can see the options with that set up and definitely easier to get those pitch level videos and photos, I would imagine. Like most collections, especially if they're usable, they evolve and you've hit the mark here. I enjoyed the tour 👍.

@DavidPudney-jr4pl thanks David 👍

Nice job! Really come on leaps and bounds! The cricket set up has a really good feel to it! Can I make a cheeky suggestion? How about trying to turn one of the grandstands into a pavilion by some small mods, including clear Perspex fronts/windows and a front part of the upper tie as a balcony (ie with the “glass” behind the first couple of rows)? Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s brilliant, just a suggestion… 👏👏👏

[@SubbuteoFocus]

@@paulbutler6112 Thanks Paul, those mods sound interesting the problem I have is a lack of DIY skills. No doubt I’d mess it up 😁. I’ve seen some mods to set ups done by other guys which look great, I just don’t think I have the ability to do it justice. But never say never 😊

[@robinma2000]

​@@SubbuteoFocusI think you do yourself an injustice about your skills. BtW, Its looking good already but its an interesting suggestion for the modification

[@SubbuteoFocus]

@robinma2000 thank you, my biggest fear is making a mess of the stands, I like the idea of the mods and it might be something I’ll look to do in the future 👍

[@pauledmonds6824]

Looks fantastic for cricket football or dare I say it Rugby.😊

[@SubbuteoFocus]

@@pauledmonds6824 thanks Paul, I’ll be showing football and rugby in the next couple of weeks. I might even have a game of rugby! That’ll be a laugh, haven’t got much of an idea how to play it 😁
