Baseball Field Completed

Great work. Can't wait to see what you do with the rest of your layout.

All I can say is wow!!!

Clearly, you had fun throughout the entire project, Bryan. Your playfulness is evident everywhere one looks, but the graffiti, featuring a drawing of Tupac, is especially entertaining and interesting. Now, your guests to the layout will have fun, as you watch to see what they notice in particular. Right?

You have done fantastic work.     Any chance of getting to see the rest of your layout.  

Marty,

Here is a wide overview of the layout but this is really the first "completed" scene.  My amusement park area is coming along and I will probably go back to working on that next. 

Bryan, The ball park looks as great as that .409 batting average you have on the scoreboard!    It is an excellent project, you will want to take with you to any subsequent layouts and leave to the special someone in your will!!!  

Awesome!!  What are the approximate dimensions of the baseball scene?

The field along with the playground area behind it is 4ft x 5ft.  Field dimensions are 16.5 inches between bases and from home plate to the right field fence is 37inches.  A little bit under scale for a true high school field (I had to paint the teams my high school colors and the opposite team the high school I coached baseball at) it more in line with a upper little league field scale wise.

Your baseball field is amazing.  Thanks for sharing.

I agree wholeheartedly, but with one exception. Not wild about the flags. Just my opinion. 

I don't think the manager of the fielding team thinks the batter can handle a fastball...that's a big power alley in left-center

Wow, this is an amazing Train Room, and looks to be very creative. The Baseball field, the Amusement Park, Big Bridges, Monarail, and even a great Sofa to rest up before the next work session....Simply a great beginning of a fun to run Layout. Thanks for the updates, Happy Railroading....Your work is great....

This is modeled when I was in high school in the 90's. The school used the flag and the mascot into the early 2000's. The district is divided into North Rangers and South Rebels.  They don't use the flag anymore.

You depicted history actually as it was then.  My high school had a swirling solar system emblem for the Mars Planets, Mars, Pennsylvania.  Still is.  I would have made it as it was also.

Amazing,  Bryan... can almost smell the hot dogs and taste the Cracker Jacks!!!

Magnificent!

Peter

It's perfect.  All I can say....

Best I've seen.

Thanks for that clarification. I think you did just an outstanding job on that field!

Nailed it!!!

Nice job!

I'm currently trying to build an "amateur" field (i.e., small) in a limited space.  Hope I can do 1/2 the job you've done.

Thanks everyone for the compliments really appreciate it.

Looks great!  Now you need a broadcast booth and a remote truck to cover the game.

In "A League of Their Own" there was a vintage Lionel advertisement in the outfield along with others. Might be something to add.  

Love it. I'm in the process of building one. What was the source for your players? I especially like the umpire, coaches, and the players in the dugouts.

Fantastic Bryan. Now that is a baseball field. Would have been interesting to see a cornfield in the outfield. Awesome job, can't wait to see more.

I don't know who made them but the team I turned into Cuyahoga Falls (black uniforms) and the umpire was bought from scenic express.  These players are not as heavy as the other team.  I still want to get another umpire and at least 1 runner who looks like he is leading off a base.  Willoughby South (team I had to paint light blue) was bought years ago from Kramer products.

Great job. I love the detail. 

Bryan 400 Ft is quite a poke for High schoolers, but that is one amazing ball field and it looks like the rest of the layout is just as amazing.

Bryan,

Your field is spectacular. Great job.
