Fourth Marx DC4

Postby soslipstream » Thu Aug 12, 2010 2:57 am

Well, I have been busy with real work and took my time on this one! This is a rare Mk 4b version which includes the wheel-drive-prop, 4-bladed props and the opening cabin door. I also feature a rebuilt set of Marx Airstairs and include Marx Airport Set Figures. Its tough to see, but, they little boy is actually holding his own Marx DC-4 (in scale!)

Best Regards, Tom Sanders

On those new zinc plated springs- I can be considered as a source for them if anyone wants a rust resistant transmission to update their own Mk III or Mk IV version.

Michael,
Well, I'm flattered but you have to wait a little while..... Your's is my 10th request for the "Boy with toy plane" thus far and I'm out out of supplies. Besides, can we talk about prices here or do I need to send you a note on the side?

Best Regards, Tom

OK...let me clarify my response: Great Piece! Excellent Work! The Little Boy inside of me wants the "spirit" of the piece, but I'll pass on the real thing!
Keep your good work coming!
Michael
