With cancelled sporting events and abbreviated season, this year’s holiday period is not what everyone expected. There are still reasons for celebration, and a beautiful desktop replica of your favorite stadium will bring joy to fans, regardless if they were there in person.
Many of the old and new sports stadiums are masterpieces of architecture. Westbrook Sports Classics’ exquisite replicas of these iconic structures offer a fresh perspective that allows fans to enjoy the beauty at their favorite ballparks from their desks, tables, or bookshelves.
Each replica stadium measures approximately 7×7 inches and weighs between 10-12 pounds. They also come with an acrylic case. John Kimball Westbrook is the model designer and creator. His background includes both commercial and architecture. He also studied with Italian stone carvers in Washington, DC, during the construction of the National Cathedral. This was where he discovered his passion for sculpture.
“Over the past 30 years, I have worked with different fine art mediums, including carving marble, granite, various semi-precious stones, bronze, wood, ivory, silversmithing, drawing and painting,”On his website, Mr. Westbrook provides more information.
The limited-edition baseball parks are made in a bronze composite, and mounted on a natural marble base. Each mold is created by Mr. Westbrook over a period approximately two months. The attention to detail, such as handpainted seats or tiny crystals placed in light poles to reflect light, will be appreciated by fans.
Up to now, the Westbrook Sports collection includes 17 Major League Baseball venues, both historic and modern, including Fenway Park which is the home of the Boston Red Sox and Candlestick Park which was the home of the San Francisco Giants. The Chicago Cubs’ Wrigley Field and both the old and new Yankee Stadium. Major League Baseball grants permission for all Major League Baseball trademark copyrights to be used.
