Congrats on that haul, Keesinho! I'd say it's definitely not a mistake. <*)

That's great!

Are those ancient klickys light yellow, or is it the pic?



All the "old" klickies I showed (4) are differently coloured than the "normal"  klickies.

The white one is a different sort of plastic almost, it has another feel to it. The two yellow ones, as well as the green one are in a shade of color never found again on the more recent klickies. Only the very first sets featured these colours. I have another yellow and green with a (b) logo stamped in, also the pre-geobra branding age :)

So far the history lesson ;)

I think it's a great lot! I'm dying to get my hands on that western house. And I need all the fort parts I can get. Someday, we'll have money to spend on all this again.

I got round to setting up the Fort Randall pieces. It turns out the set is nearly complete! Only the tower has a few parts missing, and the bar used to close the gates is gone. Much better than I had hoped for!




And this is the result of Wesley Myers advice!



Too bad I am not much of a craftsman, to make a new top cloth for it :(

DS for the cloth and auction if you want the railing for the tower

If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:

You're very welcome.  Glad I could be of some help to someone. 

Get a popsicle stick for the front gate brace and cut the ends off it to make it more square (then just round those over a bit so it's not too sharp).  That will work for the gates.

For the market stall/stand you have both shelves facing the same way - one (upper) should be towards the back and the other (lower) towards the front. 

Ebay the top OR try DS (you never know!) OR just get some cloth, cut it to the right size and use the small point on the little scissor to make a tiny hole for each 'knob' and voila, custom top!  Trim to size after.  (The original one is actually made of vinyl, by the way, you could try that or some upholstery naugahyde.)
