Young Polak Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 That is ridiculously good! Live the smokies! You should paint them orange though. I tried, didn't work out Have to buy some orange spray paint. It will be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True Until I die Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 (edited) gday all, I apologise in advance that mine is not as spectacular as young polaks but here it is anyway. My subbuteo Story photo 1:About 3 weeks ago I gought a basic club edition from mind games in Melbourne and mounted it on a wooden base using tacks. It came with a red and blue team, 1 basic ball and two plastic white goals. I then bought my first group of items from subbuteoworld.com which arrived on thursday It contained: Pegasus metal goals which are awesome and I have tacked them in tooJabulani and tango 12 ballsGreen and yellow team (which is now australia as I have added decals)Blue and white stripes (brighton hove etc)New fencing set with stickersplayer number stickers It took me a while to realise that you had to remove the player to add the decals but after that I was set. I am enjoying every minute of playing it and I am sure there will be more things soon. I have been trying to upload pics from my camera but its not working, can anyone help?

theresonlyonebzamora Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Is that a coffee table sort of thing? I need help finding some kind of wooden base for mine, but not sure where to start. It's a fairly wide pitch so probably needs to be a decent size Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love your goals, need to purchase a better looking ball for myself. did you just hammer in thumbtacks to the pitch into the wooden board right?

True Until I die Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 this is the best i can explain it 1, buy a wood or similar type of board big enough to put the field on. 2. hammer in nails where you want to put a thumb tack in 3. pull out the nail and hammer in the tacks in the same spot making sure you are always streching the pitch the lines may not all be straight, mine arent completely I have about 12 tacks on the field Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vincentcop Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 That picture is history. That was the 1994 world cup held in Chicago and many of the top players of the time are on the picture: Darren Clark of England, Vasco Guimaraes of Portugal, Horst Deimel of Austria, Wayne Smith of the US, Christophe Fuseau of France (finalist of the tournament), Dominique DeMarco of belgium (winner). Just glory days! Believe it or not but Carl Young (on this picture, the guy with the WALES jersey), one of the top players from the 80's and 90's in the world, now livs in MELBOURNE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

True Until I die Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 the problem is not that there are so few players but that there are many new players or ones that do not feel confident enough to play in tournaments. I would love to play in one but have only been playing for a month and by standards am not very good. If we do start something it needs to be mainly so that we can play against other subbuteo players to get better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will learn more by playing other players than just playing on your own. I'm sure it's also a good way to make new friends sharing the same hobby.

Young Polak Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 I bought myself a blue+red grandstand for $45. I shit myself that it was so cheap compared to others. Looked brand new, the box looked great, couldn't ask for more. Pretty excited. A 2-story y-side upgrade is all I'm picturing, swapping the blue terrace for my already created y-side terrace and would paint some more fans for the second level. This isn't the one off ebay but just showing the grandstand I'm on about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please link us when he is doing them! He's doing them now and says they should be done in a few days, and says once he is finished with them he can send me an invoice, in total I'll be paying $65 (17 pounds a team, 10 pounds for insured postage) So I guess when he says he's finished painting, I hope he'll send me a pic and i'll post it here 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young Polak Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Says the teams are done, waiting for an email with pictures attached for the finished product.
