Adelaide Dungeonbowl Cup 2014 - First prize custom board

Hi everyone,

I was asked by Alex over at AFOUL to put together a custom board for their tournament. This was quite flattering as Alex is quite the terrain-maker himself and has been putting together a really impressive dungeon over the years. You can read more about the Dungeonbowl crew over at their website.

Alex also runs a newsletter about fantasy football gaming called "Put the Boot In". He interviewed yours truly in anticipation of their big event, which you can read here.

I do like to support Bloodbowl tournaments, although I'm not much of a tournament player, myself. They are usually smallish community groups and tournaments really are in the spirit of the game. Their tournament rules are the result of hours of gaming and in the interest of fair-play, which is all good in my book.

Anyway, on with the board!


Here is the board's frame, with the modular elements set up, and a few more detailed shots towards the end:

Those last few shots show my scratch-built teleporters, as well as some treasure chests I prepared for the prize. The two identical, square chests are scratch-built, with the others coming from a Hirst Arts mold. The last two shots are taken on my own dungeon boards that you might see a bit more of in the future. I'll be using the Cavern Crawl rules, which I really recommend checking out for this sort of thing!

For anyone interest in custom pitches, for individual purchase or for tournaments, please feel free to contact me.

Hi all,

Well, the tournament has come and gone, and the pitch I was building was raffled off with great success. All the best to the guys over at BBLOCSA (AusBowl blog here: http://ausbowlsc2.weebly.com/blog.html) with their club and future tourneys, it was great working with you!

Here are some pictures of the finished pitch:

The great news is that I am also supporting another local BB tournament called Eucalyptus Bowl in July, 2013. There will be another pitch coming along as a prize from me. Aside from being another fantastic home-grown intiative is that EucBowl also support Bowel Cancer Australia. These guys are all definitely doing a great job for the gaming and wider community, so get behind them if you can.


Hope you like the pitch, and more on the next project will be up soon!

A really quick update, but I did a fair bit of work over the weekend, have a look:

Here is a clever hole in which I will insert goal posts... made from a tube of styrene, you'll be able to see the posts in a future update.

And some work on the grass...

Enjoy!

Son of a Pitch Pt. 1

Hi all,

It is absolutely stinking hot here. I've just wrapped up my holidays and have gotten back into my day job. My last efforts in my second life as a miniature scenery maker were spent on a couple of projects. One of them being a Blood Bowl for the Ausbowl State Championship 2 held by the boys over at BBLOC South Ausrtralia (Check their blog here - http://ausbowlsc2.weebly.com/index.html).

I don't need to go into how important local tournaments are. That's why I've agreed to put together a custom built pitch for the winner! This lucky bugger will get the Blood Bowl pitch I wish I had built for my self! I have an earlier one kicking around the blog, but here are some WIP pics of what's coming:

You can see in the last pic there are a few little surprises in store for the (un)lucky players. Quite a few things to trip over (including a bear trap!) and some rather deadly-looking goal posts.

More pics soon, as I've had it undercoated last weekend and can't wait to finish it up!
