More Blanks

Just picked up two more teams the other day. I’ve got a lot of painting ahead of me. Still wanting more suggestions. Post them in the comments!

The Blackhawks Are In Town

Worked a bit on the Blackhawks this last couple weeks. I need to do a bit more touch up and then add the logos to get an authentic look.
Comment on what team I should do next!

Better pictures to come soon.

Glass is Stable

Added aluminum to the top of the glass. It now looks more realistic and is much more stable.

Picked Up a Team of Players

Yesterday I picked up a set of Gamecraft players and puck catcher from Rod Hockey Shop

Great guys and service. They have all kinds of replacement parts and players for Gamecraft and Sportscraft tables.

Check them out!

Hockey Night In Canada

Today I found battery powered LED lights that are able to self adhere to the bottom on the scoreboard.

I also added home and away labels to the front of the board, as well as a “jumbotron”

MTS Centre Scoreboard Graphics

I just today used gimp to “photoshop” the graphics to the scale of my scoreboard. Quite easy learning curve on this program.

Thanks to http://canuckfanatic92.tumblr.com for most of the graphics.

I am still going to be adding a home/away and time labels to the front part as well as another action picture.

Check back soon!

A Couple More Pictures to Close Out the Night

Scoreboard Is Up & Running

I have attached the scoreboard to the PVC pipe that I attached to the sides of the table. I used 1.25 inch diameter pipe and 90° elbows for the corners. To attatch the pipes to the table I used 2 bolts. To strap the scoreboard to the pipe I used 2 1.25 inch pipe brackets. I placed underneath those a half inch bolt spacer so that I can have access to the control panel on the top of the board.

Looking forward to using this at my fantasy football draft coming up in August!

Scoreboard Progress

Finished the box for the scoreboard.

I super glued the boards together using a hot glue gun.

I’m still going to be adding some graphics to it to make it look more realistic.

Scoreboard Plans & Progress

Here are my rough plans for the scoreboard. I found a board of masonite and traced out the pattern and cut it.

I will have more photos and commentary when I begin assembling the whole thing. Check back soon.
