Well those of you that know me will know I am almost always skint (life of an Actor) and so I have been brought up with the line "If you need it, build it. If you cant build it then you don't need it enough" so.....

I wanted a blood bowl pitch to play on. so here goes.

Equipment -
Sharp knife
Pencil
Ruler
Insulation foam

Posted Image
So measure and cut the foam to size. I did this by first marking out the playing grid.

Posted Image
Once I had done that I cut out the grid to give the impression of tiles. This was done by simple V cuts.

Posted Image
As I don't want it to be massive I thought I'd make the base look like a rock stone mountain effect.


Posted Image
It's hard to make it look natural and erratic so try to avoid repeating yourself over and over.


Posted Image
Waste nothing these off cuts I will reuse.


Posted Image
With a little imagination they make great stone walls.

Posted Image

Put together they can build almost anything.

A couple of plastic D&D doors.

Well It's taking shape. Nothing is as yet glued down only placed where I want it. Just need to get some cocktail sticks for solid anchorage.

If some of the pics are too large I advise opening them in another tab so you can see it all. Looks far better.

Once everything is glued and dry my next session will be themeing and painting. The painting may take awhile as I need to buy some (really can't make that) So if anyone has any Black emulsion knocking about they don't want hay *waves* give me a shout lol.

Stage One of Weather Top Arena done = Time 6 hours give or take.
