Hear me out.
Today, on a three-hour road trip, I began thinking about scale models, and, more precisely, what no one would dare try to make a scale model of. I gave this a lot of thought. My mind kept coming back to very draggy 'UFO' style models... and I was thinking about flat things that I could make a scale model of. And then, well, I thought about how easy it would be to make a scale model of a soccer field. So now I'm plotting the creation of a rocket-powered soccer field, scaled down to LEGO size so that I can use the deluxe LEGO soccer set that I got at a garage sale, compete with a variety of players, LEGO sized soccer balls and two goals.
I figure that as long as I space the mini soccer players almost evenly, I can just put a motor mount through the middle of the field, and make room for a launch lug right next to that. The field will likely be made of corrugated cardboard strengthened with wood glue, with a big green sheet of paper containing the soccer field lines on the top. Players and goals will be glued on top of the paper. (At least, that's my initial plan.)
Anybody want to talk me out of this before I really go for it?
