    I am an art student at the Ontario College of Art & Design, and for one of my classes we were supposed to replicate a site. Since I work at the ACC and am there when not in school, I wanted to incorporate that into one of my pieces. I'm also a huge Raptors fan like the rest of us. So I made a to-scale model of the Raps court. I used dimensions from the internet and the rest was eye balled from the many pictures I took for reference from work. The piece is made of rust paint on stained birch (to look like Maple of course). I then varnished it and made baskets to really show scale. The baskets arent totally finished, but thats how I presented it in class yesterday. I could make more of these if I found it profitable enough. Please Enjoy!

    haha If I were to sell them, they would be for hundreds of dollars. Its fine art. Its not a manufactured toy. But thanks for the interest anyways. It would be sweet if I could get it signed too. I'll likely just put it up on my wall.

    Nice work. You could really get some big bucks from that if you got it signed and all.

    Give one of these to Sam Mitchell. Maybe the reason he's doing crappy as a coach is cause he can't imagine making plays on a whiteboard, he needs the real thing LMFAO!

    Anyways check this out:

    Obviously it was a joke, and I can't afford to buy it for hundreds anyways. Great work nonetheless.

    i know. depending how big it is, i would pay him $1000 if i could afford to. think about- it would look perfect as a centrepiece to any home or apartment.
