The Wall

You can't have a ballpark without a scoreboard, foul lines, distance numbers, etc. So, the first thing I did was get the lines and the numbers up. I used a basic flat white exterior latex paint for the numbers and for the scoreboard. For the lines I used a color called Blazing Star Yellow also in exterior acrylic but in a satin finish. The scoreboard background was done in Garden Gnome Green in exterior acrylic satin as well.

I found used 4" stencils for the numbers and letters. I painted them using cheap foam brushes you can get anywhere, and a roller brush for the scoreboard. I used painter's tape to make the lines as straight as possible. It took maybe 3 or 4 coats of paint to get it just right. The scoreboard took the longest, but it was the most fun to do. I based it loosely on Fenway's Green Monster scoreboard. I used acrylic latex Gloss Banner Red by Krylon for the strikes and outs "lights". For the ball "lights" I used acrylic latex Gloss Ivy Green by Krylon. When light hits those colors just right, they appear to shine almost like real lights, pretty cool.

Next up...the jerseys.
