Reedy10006 Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Could anyone advise me please!I am going to start a 00 gauge cricket pitch as part of my set. Can anyone assist with the dimensions in 00 scale, ie wicket to wicket and pitch length! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkingthedog Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Well it's 22 yards between the wickets so divide that by 76, that’s 10 1/2 inches so that’s sorted. The rest depends on the size of the village green, stadium or where ever the pitch is situated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walkingthedog Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 I doubt any layout will be large enough to have a County size ground, you'd need about 6 X 5 ft. Village green is more like it and that depends on the size available. https://uk.images.search.yahoo.com/images/view;_ylt=AwrJQ4zk.GNcAkcAU2qA3YlQ;_ylu=X3oDMTByZmVxM3N0BGNvbG8DaXIyBHBvcwMxBHZ0aWQDBHNlYwNzYw--?p=cricket+ground+dimensions&back=https%3A%2F%2Fuk.search.yahoo.com%2Fsearch%3Fp%3Dcricket%2Bground%2Bdimensions%26ei%3DUTF-8%26_tsrc%3Dyfp-hrtab%26fp%3D1&no=1&fr=yfp-hrtab&h=521&w=602&imgurl=i.pinimg.com%2Foriginals%2Fc2%2Ff7%2F6e%2Fc2f76ef9aecf612802635324a923fec8.png&rurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pinterest.co.uk%2Fpin%2F700802391987508696%2F&size=79KB&name=Image+result+for+cricket+pitch+dimensions+%7C+Cricket+...&oid=OIP.DdKORaliuTCjO2-fipo5PwHaGa&tt=Image+result+for+cricket+pitch+dimensions+%7C+Cricket+...&sigr=11jk2dqa3&sigi=124rh36qc&sigb=12s6t3vus&sign=11n1cfi70&sigt=11n1cfi70 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96RAF Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Stick it at the edge (or in a corner) with a mirror(s) behind and you only need half (quarter) the size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2e0dtoeric Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 It's a bit like asking how big a golf course is! 😛 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troublesome Truck Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 My boss has a pitch on his oo layout. Though to be honest it’s more a village green type as opposed to a county ground. I have some photos of his layout on my phone as was quite impressed. I’ll ask him if I can post one so you can get the idea of what he did. Otherwise I’ll ask him where he got the models and how he came up with his dimensions of you like? Though knowing him it was probably made up.

walkingthedog Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 The only importand dimension is the 22 yards between the stumps. Model Scene and Langley Models make cricketers. https://www.modelrailwaysdirect.co.uk/buildings-and-people-n/model-scene-5300-cricket-team/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carltonf Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Very ambitious unless you have a model room the size of which we all dream of! I used to have subbuteo cricket, and that pitch was 111cm x 70cm. You could always opt to model the pavilion with the two teams ready to take to the pitch...?

2e0dtoeric Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 You might find Faller and Preiser figures will suit, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Doc Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 You don't have to make it exactly to scale. On our school layout the pitch is only 180mm (scale 45 ft, or 15 yards, rather than 22 as it should be) but it doesn't look particularly short. I guess that's because most of us view a cricket pitch on TV from the camera's eye view behind the bowlers arm, where it appears very foreshortened. Our whole ground is about 500mm in diameter (about 41 yards, and looks a bit on the small side - ideally if it was 3 times the length of the pitch it would look better. I don't have a photo to hand of the whole pitch at present, but here's a view of "Right arm, over the wicket, from the Pavilion End:/media/tinymce_upload/8412b565b370ee08bdcd5609913af8e2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkingthedog Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 That looks good but Doc. Bet they lose a few balls in the turntable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Doc Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 That looks good but Doc. Bet they lose a few balls in the turntable. Yes , and it's the only ground I know of where the umpires complain of the movement behind the bowler's arm because Flying Scotsman being turned. Which reminds me, I've go a sight screen made of wooden coffee stirrers somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wapples Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 GREAT thanks for asking it for me. Yes so my 4th 3rd radius return loop leaves an empty circle perfect for this as seen on the back page of the peco catalouge 2018? Anyways you have all answered well I was just seeing some advice on the static grass for the pitch and or making it look mowed with the lines like the real ones. It’s a small country club like the dads army episode NOT LORDS OR THE MCG but want to try and add some depth. I will mould the traditional mound around the edge for spectators to have a picnic and enjoy the view. All advice on static grass and how to do the pitch warmly received.

81F Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 TV cameras will also use telephoto lenses which work by shortening the distance so objects one behind another will look closer together.Another way of compressing the scene might be to use HO figures and dimensions. At 3.5mm/foot as opposed to OO's 4mm the pitch would be 7/8 of the size of the OO pitch.If placed away from most OO items it shouldn't look to bad.
