RE: Building my own stadium - Blue - Aug. 25, 2008
Anubis 1st post is on the money, thats how Ive thought of doing it too.
Imo i use wood for the first time, with an epoxy/laquer finish and then buff it.
Trick is making the surface as hard/soft as the abs plastic of blades. shock absorbing is a big deal, launching is where the most damage could occur to the tip.

If you're going to make from scratch, I would suggest something that can lathe. Maybe, find somewhere that you can borrow one, get a big piece of wood or something, bring it there and lathe it. Just make sure you polish/buff it nicely and varnish over, or some other method to protect it. To be honest, I'm not confident in varnish's ability to resist denting. Metal would probably be a little harder to work with evenly, unless you could find something that was approximately the right shape to start off with. I always wanted to try it using a wok, just that I want the wok to cook my stuff too.

Wok's are a very good alternative. And I agree, I don't think varnish would be dent-resistant.
RE: Building my own stadium - WiLdDeFeNdEr - Aug. 26, 2008
woks are a good alternative although it can be hard to find a perfectly domed one, most are flattened slightly in the centre, but woks also do where down plastic and metals tips alot faster than a plastic stadium, and because most are pretty steeply slopped, alot of attack blades can just grind right over the side on initial launch.
RE: Building my own stadium - ChozenBlader - Aug. 26, 2008
You can get wider woks from the market
RE: Building my own stadium - Bey Brad - Aug. 26, 2008
IMO most woks are too steep to make good stadiums.
RE: Building my own stadium - James - Aug. 26, 2008
You can try and take a wok and flatten it a little bit though the metal WILL wear down the tips... the only other suggestions would be to do the Wok thing but find a vacum molder like they do for molds. That would give you a nice stadium with a good amount of slope.

This may sound stupid but... What exactly is a Wok
EDIT:This was stupid because i found out it is a wok pan!!!
RE: Building my own stadium - James - Aug. 27, 2008
you know stir fry? well it's like half a globe almost perfectly round, maybe even a little flatter.
RE: Building my own stadium - Rögnvaldur - Aug. 27, 2008
Yeah i found it out on my self just before you posted this. But thx anyway...

True, and they damage the tip, but for alternatives, I don't think they're that bad to be honest.
RE: Building my own stadium - rkayd - Aug. 27, 2008
HHMMMM... How big do you want the stadium?? that will help...
RE: Building my own stadium - Rögnvaldur - Aug. 27, 2008
From around the normal size of the plastic ones to the big ones you see on the show... Depends on cost...
RE: Building my own stadium - ChozenBlader - Aug. 27, 2008
The middle sized ones will allow you to see more action during battles as the battle is confined to a slightly smaller area. I think middle sized ones are best.
RE: Building my own stadium - Rögnvaldur - Aug. 27, 2008
Ok...Thanks for the advice...
RE: Building my own stadium - ChozenBlader - Aug. 27, 2008
You're welcome, but remember, middle sized are my preference. You may prefer something else.

Was there ever results? I would like to see pics if so.
RE: Building my own stadium - Dan - Aug. 26, 2010
Obviously not if it hasn't been posted on for two years..
Useless Necro-post.
