5 out of 5 stars Great for the patient Pirates fan   February 13, 2001
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

I'm normally not a model builder, and I never saw Forbes Field, but I really enjoyed putting this ballpark model together. The quality of the design is tremendous, and the finished product is display-worthy. A nice gift idea for native Pittsburghers. The enterprise is very much doable, but this is no two-day project. If you aren't willing to put some energy into it, you're better off with a jigsaw puzzle.


5 out of 5 stars A challange for the model builder. Excellent pictorial.   September 25, 1999

A must for the classic ballpark enthusiast. A real challange for the model builder but well worth the time and effort.An excellent tribute to the "Old Lady of Schenly Park.
