Nice

Are the figurinees hand crafted or machined

Osmium Steele · 08-24-11, 07:22 AM

Scratch built? From plans? Boxed with directions? Slide tab A into slot B sort of thing? What?

Looks great! (Except the 3 man goalie line, but hey, I'm old school)

Kit form with lots of screws, nuts and bolts and a set of instructions that wasn't quite right.

Took a while to decipher where the instructions were wrong and some undoing of the previous doing and then redoing it after putting the missing or incorrectly placed step into the process.

Figures were machined and part of the kit.

Ah, the joys of self build.

It looks good, much better than the plastic ones. Looks solid also - if you din't forget to tighten the screws...

However I have to agree with Osmium: one goalie is sufficent!

And what material is the flooring made of? A good flooring can make an enormous difference, not only in speed, but also in handling the ball.
