Do you have a team that deserves that extra special treatment? do you need to be the envy of all your BB mates? Then what you need is a custom built BB board that will represent the turf that your team would be playing on!
Check out the pics of the boards that were built for the Challenge of Q'ermitt tourney (many of which were done by me). Participants int he tourney agreed that it was great fun to be playing on something other than the regular cardboard pitches.
If interested then PM me with some details of the following:
 team race
team name
any ideas you may have for the geography, or what you would like to see
The pricing would depend a lot on the cost of the materials and how much work is invovled in putting it together - for instance - the rafts on the goblin board took me a LONG time, and would have to be compensated accordingly. Each board will consists of a foam insulation core, supported with a plywood base. The rest of the materials depend on what kind of board you are looking for. PM me with your ideas and we will work the pricing out.
Be aware that I am not looking to sell the boards I have already made, but am looking to build you your OWN board for your team/league/whatever!
Here are some pics of some of the boards from the Q'ermitt:

Also check out the web link in my signature, in the album is the Q'ermitt '05 section that has a lot of pics of the boards that were built - just to give you some more ideas!

I have room in my basement, but also what I do is I lean them against the wall and have them stacked that way. By doing this there the gravity is not pushing the boards against one another - I am considering also putting cloth or foam in between to lessen the damage.

I found that when designing Ivor Biggin stadium a good decision was making it modular. Not only made it easier to transport but very easy to store.
Influence for that? The old 2nd edition astrogranite fields!  |

| this weekend while running errands with the wife we stopped at a place called the container store. while looking around i came across a cardboard storage box that's 36" X 36" X 10" which is just about perfect for the layout i had in mind. i don't know if you guys are interested in checking these boxes out but they're not cheap. this one was $11.00. |

Um..... would "plank board" be the goblin swamp stadium with the rafts, or the boat stadium?
Either way thanks!

Very nice. I have a home made pitch project on the go at the moment. I think modular is the way to go as well.
I'm sure I played on the Ivor Biggin pitch at Spike! 04 against the chap in the Bruce Lee shirt (one of the loudest shirts I've ever seen in a tournament setting  ). The chances of a riot should have been increased on this pitch as the crowd was full of Daleks. They are always on the verge of hysteria!

| I must say it looks/sounds as if a mortal man never should attempt(!). I had to look at the pics to admire the work on it (again!) as now I know what a job it must've been(!!!!!). |

Okay, thanks to Xtreme and Mel, I think I might have this one sorted out.
Here is the overview of the board:
Here is my opponents dugout!
Here is the Rules that differntiate BB7s from normal Blood Bowl:
Here is the scorekeeper (similiarly used for turn keeping)
