I made the real scale barriers at work. They are made of black cardboard, but are very strong and sturdy. There are some pictures on the above link which show the ringside area for scale etc. (excuse the ancient carpet - its the loft room in my house - i see no need for fancy carpet up there!) I've actually updated the barriers since these pictures were taken. It now has enough room for 2 announce tables, and an area for the timekeeper and announcer to sit. It looks a little stupid just having enough space for 1 announce team! UPDATED: s207.photobucket.com/albums/bb177/regal101_photos/I've now made an old school 'Federation' years ring area, with the 'metal rails' around rinside. Could still do with some tidying up around the corners, but its certainly makes the ring area look better! |

well i think $10-$15 would be a reasonable price,lots of people on this board (including myself) are trying to find the metal vengence barriers but these look awsome! id much rather have these cause if somthing happens to them im not losing a rare item.i could order more from you. if your looking to make more money take custom jobs with logos or pictures or even a dif color.that way normal ones will sell anyway and custom orders will keep motivated and fresh.

thanks for your tips! I have the Metal vengeance ones, and there isn't enough to go all the way round a real scale ring - i had to buy two sets of them! These ones were rather complicated to design, but work great. As i said, they come in 7 parts, but all just slot together, but once made, can be picked up and moved in one piece without any parts dropping off. At the moment i can only do black, pink, dark green and purple (i realise the latter colours aren't really suitable) but i am working on getting hold of some silver board to make some more. I'll try and take some more pictures soon of construction so you can get a better idea of how they are made up...

They do look great and im sure they are well-made given your occupation is a designer. Nice work there.

Is there anyone here in the UK interested? I'll work out a deal with someone and send them one, they can then also give their opinion on the barriers too and once i know other people are happy with them (and its not just me thinking they're great) i can work out sending them to the US...? I would ship one other to the US now, but not sure of shipping costs. The parcel is about 80cm long, about 60cm wide, but very flat and lightweight so i guess probably not very much in costs. If anyone is interested on working something out - Pm me a price you think is reasonable and i will find out a shipping cost and get one to you. Once some people start receiving them, i'm sure they will be impressed!

I'm going to work on either a real scale entrance ramp etc or a 'crowd' next... Similar to the Jakks one in the Toy Fair pics, where the crowd 'pop up' so they look more realistic. I just need to find some good pictures of a crowd to do so...

looks great I have several complaints hahahaha.... on the classic railings i would like it if you made the vertical "post's" a little thinner .If posable??Also might as well extend the rails on the sides of the walk way

I was going to run them down the aisle, but haven't gotten around to it yet... And i know what you mean about the vertical posts, but they're not actually that thick, approx 7mm wide. Obviously as they are made of card so can't go too thin, but i think these are a vast improvement from having none at all... And until Jakks make some or i can find some plastic ones to scale, these will have to do!
