A little thread to act as a demonstration/motivation on how you get better at stuff the more you practice it.

I did some projects here and there as a kid, but hereā€™s the first Paper Stadium I built as an adult about 2 years ago.
Paper Stadium #2

Another cardboard stadium I didnā€™t model after anything. Named it after myself because why not?
Paper Stadium #3

Another made up stadium for a made up college. I even made up a logo for the made up college.

First time I used construction paper. I realized it was easier than cardboard.
Paper Stadium #4

My first model stadium. I grew up down the street from Rosenblatt Stadium and always loved how colorful it was.

As you can see, my stadiums are starting to look more and more realistic with more and more detail.
Paper Stadium #5

Memorial Stadium.
Paper Stadium #6

Wrigley Field.

You can see a lot of skill was developed from #1 to #6. Iā€™m not trying to brag about myself, Iā€™m just trying to demonstrate how much you can improve by simply practicing a craft.
Paper Stadium #7

Old Yankee Stadium
Paper Stadium #8

Zable Stadium.

The largest stadium Iā€™ve ever built (5-feet wide) was built to surround an electric football field.
Paper Stadium #9

Paper Stadium #11

Candlestick Park

My first time using a CriCut cutter. Which cut a solid 20-hours off construction time.

Made for a future Paper Stadium-er in California!

Paper Stadium #12

Washington High Gym.

My first basketball court and my first project from Pennsylvania. I already have a commission to be back in PA very soon.

Paper Stadium #13

The Ball Card K.

A brilliant Idea from @NRKennedy16 to use Royals card to build an abstract Kauffman Stadium.

Paper Stadium... eh theatre #14

Radio City Music Hall

My first non-stadium model. Though as I've said before, stadiums are direct dependents of theaters.

Paper Stadium #15

Shea Stadium

Included a moving Home Run Apple.

Paper Stadium #22

Cleveland Municipal Stadium

After working on this project, I gained a new respect for this classic ballpark. I'll never again use that certain nickname.šŸ˜‚

Paper Stadium #23

Michigan Stadium, AKA "The Big House"

The first time I've ever done fall foliage around a stadium!

It was also the first time I made two stadiums at the same time (client ordered two).
