| ISSUE 133 Now sit back in your “armed” chair once more because the Creeks are rising -- against fabled Fort Pitt and Fort Garry! These two real-life forts stood as bastions of civilization in the wilderness against hostiles of every description. The action centers on the real Fort Pitt, built by British military in 1759 almost exactly on the ruins of the earlier Fort Duquesne. It stood where the Monongahela and Allegheny rivers meet to form the Ohio. These two sets -- Fort Pitt and Fort Garry -- round up our coverage of Marx’ four free-standing “Blockhouse stockade” sets of the Revolutionary War era not counting the 4808 Rev War set with the blockhouse, jungle stockade and two tin cabins. Also this issue George Kroll’s important presentation of an undiscovered Battle Field set with its own rare, battle damaged cabin; a ‘2-Shot” by Dick Wood from Zululand, David Schafer’s updates of the Combat Training set, two big Alamo construction projects (one for an apartment), an MPC store Display for figures, 60mm Rarities, and more! Thanks for making us a part of your collection, as you are a part of ours. • Rusty |
