KringlesBricks Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 Some background on the build. I first began in 2010, with a couple 48x 48 baseplates and a dream..... The only part of the stadium that was pre-designed was the playing surface, using a Canada Hockey rink dimensions sheet for scale. Everything else has been trial and error/ build up to a certain level, then destroy as i make it even bigger. It's a situation where every few month's i'll make a $50-100 part purchase and do another chunk, not quite willing to drop the $$ required to do it at once. My goal is to have it done by the end of the season for the team I work for (early March) so I can display it at a game. That's how I build my custom models - explains why it takes me a few years to build a huge custom building or train. I always build it...see how it looks..sit on it for a few days...knock it down...rebuild it...sit on it again...then start on another section. I also buy bricks in stages because of $$$. I keep checking in on this thread to see if you made any more progress - ha-ha. Quote
Delbaerov Posted April 1, 2014 Author Posted April 1, 2014 An update to Delbaere Stadium a few more months in the making than I had hoped. when a few extra led light strips were made available to me I decided to see how it would look, and the results turned out better than I had hoped. With the lights and the scoreboard, it's going to look like a very modern outdoor stadium. I'l have some updates including concessions, and the start of the entrance facade coming soon. Quote
sithewok Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 Now that is impressive! Wow. I am blown away by not only the size, but just how great it looks as well. Really, really well done. Quote
charly1221 Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 800 seats i can't find a word in english for this expression ¡que flojera! (in the good sense) Quote
viracocha Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 Awesome! I hope it will be exposed somewhere and never taken apart. Quote
stebai Posted April 5, 2014 Posted April 5, 2014 That is awesome - congrats on a brilliant build. Quote
igacreative Posted April 26, 2014 Posted April 26, 2014 This is seriously impressive ... (shuffles back to the drawing board) Quote
Delbaerov Posted November 6, 2014 Author Posted November 6, 2014 (edited) A few updates here, the facade is complete, and a roof is beginning to take shape over the broadcast booth and private suites. The letters on the seats will eventually spell CLAN after my local university the SFU Clan. Edited November 6, 2014 by Delbaerov Quote
Criga88 Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 That facade looks great, and the stadium as a whole is an amazing build so far. Quote
kieran Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 Huge, where will you keep it when done? Can it be broken into sections. Amazing Quote
eiker86 Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 This is awsome! Love the ice machine =) Quote
Delbaerov Posted November 6, 2014 Author Posted November 6, 2014 Huge, where will you keep it when done? Can it be broken into sections. Amazing It has 5 major sections (Ice and each side) plus a few other layers that come across easily. It lives in my dining room for now, we'll see where it goes once it's complete. Quote
eurotrash Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 I remember this from when you first posted it, but this version is wonderful. Excellent job! Quote
kasmca Posted November 7, 2014 Posted November 7, 2014 Simply amazing - I would love to see it fully populated with 800 minifigs in the stands and hockey players. Quote
ItsaBRICKS Posted November 7, 2014 Posted November 7, 2014 This is truly a magnificent build. What is the size of the stadium? I am thinking about constructing a small soccer stadium that I want to be about this size but want to know how much space it would take up before I commit. Quote

Delbaerov Posted February 24, 2015 Author Posted February 24, 2015 A couple updates on the stadium, now with lighting on one grandstand Quote
mediumsnowman Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Awesome hockey stadium Delbaerov! The lights look fantastic! Quote
gazumpty Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Brilliant...this has been one of my favourite projects to follow over the last few years! I love the way you achieved a mini-fig scale without it looking all blown out of proportion. The lights and façade and superb details and really tie the whole design together. Quote
Delbaerov Posted July 3, 2015 Author Posted July 3, 2015 (edited) Just a little update, Only a few minor updates in the last few months, just some work on the dressing rooms and filling in the crowd by scraping together every piece found in my Lego buckets. Also built a few concession stands. Once the building is complete, some decal work will be added Also threw in a throwback to the first ever picture I took of it, which is almost 5 years ago. Also have a new Instagram account: beautilugBC Edited July 3, 2015 by Delbaerov Quote
Karlota Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 Wow, It's amazing, with many details. Great Stadium!! Quote
Delbaerov Posted August 12, 2016 Author Posted August 12, 2016 Finally filled up the seating bowl full of figures. Just needing to fill the private boxes and staff, then we'll finally be completed! Quote
