Marx Battleground and Training Center Playset Pieces - Repo Marx Exploding Ruins HP Redux - ANOTHER Variation

I latched on to yet another repo exploding ruins building. That makes three different color variations for the repos that I'm aware of. The original came in a marbled caramel brown color. According to Kent Owen Sprecher's Toy Soldier HQ website, apparently a green version was made some years back (I do not have the green variant). Later, a gray version and a caramel brown version (no marbling) would be offered. 

I posted the gray version back on 16 June and today we'll look at the caramel brown repo which I like because of its close resemblance to the original.

The base looks gray in this photo - it's not. That just the lighting and my color-blind camera at work

Marx Battleground and Training Center Playset Pieces - Marx Exploding Ruins HP

Here's yet another accessory with an exploding feature: the Marx Exploding Ruins. Mine is woefully incomplete, with only the exterior wall piece intact. It's missing the roof, door, inner wall, and spring loaded 'detonator'. The first photo (from Toy Soldier HQ) shows an intact example


Okay, so while I don't have a complete example, this one wall piece still makes for an excellent battlefield diorama piece. It measures: 6.25" (15.87cm) W x 2" (5.08cm) D x 3.5" (8.89cm) H.  Tomorrow, I'll  post my repo Exploding Ruins set. Be Blessed and Relish Life! Ed
