A true scale field, without seating or parking, could easily be 300 feet down the lines (almost three and a half feet in HO). It might me tempting to keep the infield diamond at 90 feet square (about one HO foot) and just compress the expansive outfield, but from laying it out in full size paper, I have found that your eye seems to use the diamond as referrence. I scaled the entire field down to about 75% and it looks great (on paper, that is). <br /> <br />My next step is to make a 3D mock up of stadiums designs to get an idea for realistic stands and outfield wall height. <br /> <br />Unfortunately, my large layout is a few years away, so I have had to change my modeling scope down to an industrial switching layout that will someday be a part of my basement empire. I do, however, plan to build the baseball stadium as a diarama to be sropped into my layout someday.
