The ones that aren't converted from the 3D Warehouse are all done from scratch. I use a Google Maps image to outline the field and warning track and then go from whatever pictures and other resources I can find. For Sahlen FIeld I used a model from the 3D Warehouse as a reference, although I didn't recycle any actual parts of it.
I do have a handful of textures and components that I have accumulated that I often reuse, though. I have become a big fan of textures.com and sketchuptextureclub.com as sources of free, quality seamless textures.
Surprisingly, the one thing I've been having a bit of a hard time trying to find are the wall heights, so I tend to just go by photographs. "Well, that guy's probably about 6' 2", so that means that wall is probably about 10 feet."
