Re: HO Baseball

Back ten years ago or so, Mikros Corp. had a set of 11 players and an umpire. There was also an outfit I can't remember the name of, I want to say "mini-metals" that had two complete teams.

Briarwood, Even if you get a set of HO baseballers, what are you going to do for spectators, you'll need a hell of a lot of figures to look convincing, unless you say it's only a practice game.If you can't get any suitable models, an alternative is to model a dirty big rain cloud over the empty field and have a big notice up saying 'Game rained out, come back next Saturday'. Regards, Bill.

How about they're a lousy team that raised the ticket prices so high nobody can afford them?

You mean the Milwaukee Brewers? :-(

No problem. He can model the old Washington Senators... LOL

For that matter, he can do Tiger Stadium. And the way the Tigers have been playing, Comerica Park.

Two righties & 7 lefties in the field, including a left-handed catcher??? Maybe they have the picture transposed.

Might be the team from Massachusetts.

"It's a joke, son"

Consider for the moment that none of the "Big" figure producers make baseball players! Preiser, Merten, Woodland Scenics, no one!

Now why would a European company make baseball players? Have you noticed that it's still hard to find the variety of skin color that best represents America? Or at least what I model - the southeast? Gene ABV61-1043.001.HCB

"Skinny Dipping and Other Stories" On the web at or and look for "Into Joy From Sadness" soon.

Why couldn't it just be some local area team, say a couple of local businesses who have their own teams that play each other on the weekends, and you'd have a couple dozen spectators for each side, being the other co-workers, family and friends of the players.

Why would it have to be Stadium class ball teams?
