Here is an absolutely cool-as-heck building I bought seven years ago from a gentleman on fleaBay: Peter Wassmiller. I have previously posted a number of Mr. Wassmiller's creations here on Toys and Stuff like those shown below.
-If you already have an original Marx building, this acts as an additional building to any space port type set-up you may want to put together
-It's slightly smaller footprint saves space
-It's design mirrors that of the original so the two look like twin buildings
I bought this seven years ago and just now decided to assemble it! (I take the long view with my projects 😄 ) Were you to try and find one now you won't have any luck. It's been my experience that his creations are extremely limited. Sometimes he'll just do a one-off building, while other times he'll make several. But once they're sold, that's it, you can't buy any more! This building consisted of four pieces of formed-&-painted sheet metal structural pieces that are to be joined together by little clips. All the holes are pre-punched to accept the clips. A sheet of peel-&-stick appliqués is included which has all the decorative trim as well as interior detailing. There are two instruction sheets showing how to assemble the building and where to place the appliqués which you must cut out of the sheet yourself. The artwork is excellent and is most definitely appropriate to the era. In addition to the basic materials needed to assemble the building, he included a full set of original Marx Tom Corbett/Rex Mars plastic accessories! Awesome! Our next installment will show the assembled structure. Enjoy! Opa Fritz
