Brass Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 Well I got this crazy idea while I was about to through away a bunch of white cardboard, "Hey, why not try to create Fenway Park with it?" So one of my fun projects on my spare time will be to recreate Fenway Park. I started last night, and right now I have the Green Monster and the lights done. Here is the progress!Comments and suggestions for my quest to recreate Fenway would be appreciated! On 4/10/2017 at 3:05 PM, Rollins Man said: what the hell is ccslc?

Brass Posted March 9, 2005 Author Share Posted March 9, 2005 And just a side note, but yes I know the adds are green in Fenway, but I couldn't find any clear images of them on the internet, so I got the next best thing!

JamesCraven Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 You forgot the National League out-of-town board. "I better go take a long walk off a short pier or something."Some people on this bolard have told me to do just that.My "Ron Mexico" alias is "Jon Tobago".

Brass Posted March 9, 2005 Author Share Posted March 9, 2005 You forgot the National League out-of-town board. It's there, look all the way to the right of the scoreboard...to the left of the Bob's ad, and you see that there's only one game that day. Atlanta vs NY Mets.

Brass Posted March 9, 2005 Author Share Posted March 9, 2005 They're on the AMERICAN league board, my friend. As you can see, in real life, they are. So yes, they are on there.

DEAD! Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 When I was younger I actually made paper models of stadiums that I designed myself. What I liked about this one I made six years ago was that the right field wall acted as a facade for an arena. Yes, that roof was foldable so you can see inside the arena. I saw, I came, I left.

slapshot Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 A few years ago there was a book called "Build it Yourself Fenway Park". It was printed on heavy stock (business card thickness), and was constructed to scale. All one needed was an exacto knife and a big bottle of Elmer's glue, and the whole thing was less than 3 feet square.The book was written by Len Martin, but it currently out of print, though there are plans for an updated 2005 version. He also created one for Forbes Field.His website is here:http://www.pointfourltd.com/documents/pfsportshub.htmlGood luck with your project. And your scoreboard needs to be extended as far as the Bob's sign, you didn't leave enough room for the National Leagye scores, which were added two years ago. Don't forget the morse code in the vertical white lines, and the little slots where the scorebard workers can watch the game!

Brass Posted March 9, 2005 Author Share Posted March 9, 2005 Do you guys have to be so picky? I'm not going for tiny little details, just something that looks good as a whole.

See Red Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 At the ESPN Zone in Denver -- they have a model of Coors Field constructed completely of Coors Light boxes, bottle caps, and crumpled up labels serve as the crowd.I'll try and find a picture if I can.

The model is actually made of computer paper. What I did was I divided the stadium into sections, seating, outer facades etc. I used trigonometry to make speicific cut-outs, colour them, fold them in the appropriate places and tape it onto the base. To make it stand up I make a flap in the cut-out to hold it onto the base. The one I posted was the last one I did. I did so many others, but they were not as accurately done as this one. Anyone who visited my basement when I was a teenager were really impressed of the models that I've done. The model is fragile, so any excesssive force on it is not recommended. I saw, I came, I left.

Mings Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 did you use chipboard on your models? its about 1/16" thick, and easily cut. thats what i always use, that or matteboard at the same thickness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DEAD! Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 First of all, it's just computer paper, nothing else, except a few toothpicks here and there. I was still a teenager when I did this, and I did not end up in architecture as my field of study. For the way I do my models, computer paper is much cheaper and easier to fold. Maybe one day I'll post a picture of a section just to illustrate how I do this for one section. Remember the seats are represented by the coloured areas of a flat face, not a bunch of folds. A couple of things, though, for my models, the field level is always the same as the ground level, which is not the case for many modern stadiums. So, having a strong foundation as my base would have made those stadiums that more realistic. Also my models are really a bunch of straight lines. That simplifies everything.I draw out a side sectional view just to figure out the slope of the seating level(s) and a top view to help me make my cutouts. You don't really need trig for the cutouts, I just use it to save time. I must say though, I have always been impressed by the models professional architects make. Josh, is matteboard or chipboard used to make those type of models? I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
