If you have been collecting for
very long, you know that finding the figures and accessories
for some playsets is usually far easier than finding the original
box. After watching dealers lists and ebay for a decent Johnny
Tremain box for what seemed like forever, I decided to take matters
into my own hands. I decided to make something Marx never
did...A "Giant" Johnny Tremain set. I added a downsize western
cabin, two Britains three dimensional trees, and a gray Marx
Colonial Officer that I had obtained from the Marx Engineering Room
Sales being done by Springday. I then added these special
elements to my loose Johnny Tremain Partial set and took a
bunch of photographs. Then I used the magic
of digital photo processing programs to lift the graphics
off of photos of Original Marx Revolutionary War boxes.
This beautiful box was
the result.
