Ebbets Field model:
-
you can take the Dodgers out of Brooklyn, but you can't take the Brooklyn out of the DODGERS

It is a nice one, but I don't think the dimensions are right (on scale of course) compared with the real Ebbets Field.
Am I right here? -
You are right,they don't look correct in these photos. I don't know what scale it is. Right field appears too long. Nice model though.Originally posted by Yankeebiscuitfan View Postyou can take the Dodgers out of Brooklyn, but you can't take the Brooklyn out of the DODGERS

And it looks to me like right center field is too short. I also miss the curious gap that was in right center field.Originally posted by penncentralpete View PostComment

A lot of the Ebbets Field replicas I've seen - and that includes this one, the Danbury Mint one, and even the one the Brooklyn Cyclones gave away last August - look too "squished," which to me means the stands are too high in relation to the field, and the fence on the Bedford Avenue side is too short.Please help. I was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer last summer, and now I'm in a position where I need financial assistance. For the full story, please check out my GoFundMe campaign at https://gofund.me/3874ea2d. Thank you.Comment

Where'd you see that model at, Pete? Who built it? I'm like you, it doesn't look exact, but someone spent some time to put it together. Too bad they don't have "Model Stadiums," like model cars, that you could put together yourself. That'd be a niche business someone could start and probably do purty well!Originally posted by penncentralpete View PostComment

Todd: I'll explain and answer you back at "brooklyndodgermemories". I don't think this Ebbets model went over too well here. You're right though. As a model railroader, I would love to see these old parks sold as kits for the modeler to build up. The dies would cost a fortune however, and you'd have to sell hundreds before you realized a profit.Originally posted by Todd Anderson View Postyou can take the Dodgers out of Brooklyn, but you can't take the Brooklyn out of the DODGERS

I believe it was the Danbury Mint that put out a superb replica of Ebbets Field, complete with removable front entrance making the Rotunda visible.Comment

of course the model wasn't perfect, just like if they rebuilt a large scale replica of the real thing it wouldn't be perfect. however, pcp, I thought It was pretty cool. battlin bake, the dodger dynamoComment

Nice model
The labor of love. Whoever worked on this did a really nice job, it looks great. It's a shame that they didn't spell Ebbets correctly.Comment
