Custom Marx Training Center Buildings and Diorama

A few years ago, I was looking for some vintage Marx tin litho buildings for an Army training base diorama. I found a seller on Ebay who made custom buildings of typical buildings and facilities you'd find on a military base. These are made of tin and the signs, windows, accessories are stickers. They look top notch and work really well. Here are the custom ones followed by a larger Army base diorama.

King and Country WW2 82nd and 101st Airborne Troops

My daughter and I went to Gettysburg a few weeks back. We, of course, stopped at the Gettysburg Miniature Soldier Shop. I managed to find some 82nd and 101st Airborne troops for some future WW2 dioramas.

Marvel Super Hero Squad 2010 Comic Con Mayor Set

I discovered this set while watching Carbon Scoring's YouTube channel. I used to have a ton of these little guys. Wish I wouldn't have sold them off. I guess in the cartoon, Stan Lee was supposed to be the mayor. Gotta love Doctor Doom in his morning robe and coffee.
