paulw Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 The last "update" to Forbes that dummy :? here posted was the same as the original file - not the updated one. Sorry. If you're at all interested in Forbes or liked the original the update is now available. The update includes the Carnegie Mellon tower, gates in right center to Schenley Park and the Heinz chapel located by the Cathedral of Learning. Nothing major. Just a bit of a facelift. Here's a couple of pics: Gates and CM tower Heinz Chapel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroEric Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Paulw would be nominated for the modder of the year award if there was such a thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moser316 Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 I don't think there's any more that needs to be said about your Forbes Field, other than that it's an absolute work of art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulw Posted February 18, 2006 Author Share Posted February 18, 2006 Thanks very much for the compliments but I think it's the subject - not the artist - that deserves the praise (It's kind of like you couldn't really take a bad photograph of Brittany Spears). Forbes was a somewhat unknown gem among the old time ballparks. It just didn't get the exposure because unlike the "classic" Yankees, Dodgers and Red Sox the Pirates generally sucked. Forbes had a wonderful asymetric design, the ivy of Wrigley Field, and a setting that couldn't be beat with Schenley Park and the Oakland neighbord of Pittsburgh. Here's some unpublished Forbe's pics I got a hold of including one of my favorite old time shots ever. Opening day 1956 looking at the Dodger's dugout. That's Carl Furillo 6, Walter Alston in the foreground and Jackie Robinson sitting on the dugout steps. Note the old version of the scoreboard. The screen fronting the right field stands, the gates to Schenley Park and Roberto Clemente. The familiar left field corner with the Carnegie building in the back taken after the 1959 all-star game. The black color of the Carnegie was soot and smoke. It's all cleaned off now and a much lighter color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
