Time to turn my attention to the base section of the project, which was made from 6mm MDF board. First, using the football and boots as a guide to size, the MDF was marked out and then cut to size using a circular saw.

I thought that it would be cool to cover the base with artificial grass. So, after purloining a length I set about cutting it to size.

Once the grass was cut to size I started to fit some feet to the base. The feet are actually green plastic drawer handles which seemed perfectly suited to the job.

The handles are fixed using a single screw so a bit of drilling and screwing was needed!

With the feet in place, the baseboard was placed, upside down on the back of the pre-cut artificial grass. The grass had been cut slightly oversized so that it could be folded over the edges of the base and then stapled in place.
