Desert Counterparts

I typically steer clear of posting articles about other manufacturers for a variety of trivial reasons. However, I had to make a big exception in this case. Blog read Clarence recently sent me a few pics of his custom made/hand pianted Marx Desert Fox table and some very fond memories from my childhood came rushing back. Prior to my days as a TimMee fanatic was the proud owner of the Marx Navarone, Battleground and Desert Fox playsets. Although I no longer collect Marx sets and have sold everything with the exception of the battle mountain and its furnishings, there's still a special place in my heart for these awesome military toys. So I thought I'd share these with you.

Great job, Clarence!
