Art: Battle-scarred Beyblade Stadium

My boy has been accumulating his Beyblades over the past two years, thanks to all the generous aunties, uncles and grandparents.

The top can be spun on any flat surface, but a proper game is usually played in a Beyblade Stadium. I bought one for my boy, after much persuasion. Despite its price tag, it looked like a cheap piece of plastic that you can find as packing material :-p

After a while, the poor plastic took a real beating and ended up badly scratched.

So to "distract" from the scratches, out came the Sharpies again :-)

This time I searched for a design on the Internet, then flipped it on the computer before printing it out.

Then I stuck it on the inside of the stadium, facing the bottom of the stadium. That way I could trace the design on the bottom of the transparent stadium so that it looks right side up when in play. This way, the spinning tops will not scratch the design either.

 So here's the finished product ... and I bet the scratches are the last thing you notice :-)
