Title: Football stadium WIP
Post by: David on August 08, 2022, 11:01 pm: Have been working on this football stadium (although might also host GAA, rubgy games who knows) on and off for some weeks now and slowly but surely making progress.

Looking incredible so far anyway. How long is it?

well the length consists of 2x 48x48s and 3 32x32s so I guess you could say its 6 32x32 baseplates in length.

Not sure it will fit where I hope it might go, risk is the height of the side stand but will take the gamble and find out later D

As I dont have any design builds I need to do all 4 simultaneously as each step being made up as I go along. Somewhat tiring to be honest. Pics will help me have some idea in future should I need to copy :D
