I absolutely love '50s era space art or science fiction art and the box art for Pyro's set 268-2 49 is wonderful. The space terminal reminds me of the wonderful Masonite creations made by Johillco back in the '50s. Those were featured in the book 'Blast Off' and are prohibitively expensive were one to become available today. However, Marx's Tom Corbett / Rex Mars playset buildings are a decent enough stand-in.

Wow. I would've loved that set as a kid. I'd still love it today! I would love to use those ships for tabletop gaming, they're just my style.
ReplyDeleteAgreed Baron! And these would make great candidates for 3D printing as well.
