First up, one of our favorite Easter--and Autumn too--putz projects---(just substitute older "chickens"(!)

Check  out this fab “chickie shack” putz pattern and idea from Howard Lamey--these were one of your editor's first projects---made fabulous give-aways at last year's Easter dinner---and then click here for more from Paul Race too.

Next up, more oldies but goodies from back in 2013 and Howard Lamey--the Classic Cottage and Two Peak putz houses.

They're followed by--courtesy of THE ORIGINAL ROCKET DUNGEON---a fabulous Flickr photo album of snaps from the trade magazine Missiles and Rocket Magazine...

This was published from 1957 through 1968.

And finally from TOYS AND STUFF, the late 50's Ideal Alamo playset :

Ideal put out a whole series of small, cheap playsets starting in the late '50s consisting of a plastic front gate with two identical tin-litho side walls. 

Some of the sets were The Alamo, a castle, fort, Marine base, Dodge City, and more and they came in header bags and blister cards. READ AND SEE MUCH MORE FROM TOYS AND STUFF AT http://toyconnect.blogspot.com/2021/03/ideal-alamo-playset.html
