Marx Skyscraper Project

It looks great! How did you do it??? What are the dates for the Nixon display??? Going to So Cal in OCT

Dave

The Nixon Holiday display runs from Nov 25 thru Jan 5.

Both fronts of the wing sections were pretty bad, but the sides are decent. I scanned a good side and then printed the scans out on self adhesive high gloss paper. Not perfect, but pretty decent.

Steve

Here is the crappy right side. The front is pretty bad, the side is pretty nice. I simply scanned the good side, printed on high gloss self adhesive sticker paper and cut to fit. You will note in the photo's above how the front went from 2 rows of windows to 3 rows.

Steve

that's great Steve! another Marx item I never knew about.

Both sides are now done, the four floors are in, widows added, the rotating airplane is now irritating the big gorilla and Harold is oblivious too what's going on .

Steve

Pretty slick restoration job.

You've got to be kidding this is great!  

The Kong & plane are added right?

Maybe you could use a Marx toy like this

Looks awesome , I did not know marx made something like that.

I completed adding lights today. Not sure how well they will show up in the
lighted room, but this will end up on my layout someday so the work needed to be
done anyway. About all I really need to do is make awnings to go over the 3
doorways.

And the ape likes blonde's.

I finished making the awnings last night. Someday I will create the revolving
doors for the two towers, but I need to move on to a few other projects.

Steve

beautiful!

It turned out great!
