G.A.tor Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 What is the case made of? Is that just plain plastic or UV reflective glass? hello all... the Pedrin conservatory used to make the Fortress...I got a batch from comicdey last month (thanks )...I believe it is hard uv reflective plastic, with mylar casing and acid free gaskets to support the book....I remember in SD in 1993 of 94, Chris (Pedrin) submerged a Whiz 1 in a bucket of water, while it was sealed in a Fortress... very strong, very sturdy rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kidding - I wish I could have found an unrestored copy, but after a year of looking for a copy, I had to jump on this while I had the chance: Nice!

adamstrange Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 I'd never think to look at it that close, but good catch Adam! I think part of it also is that radial engines look so darn cool when they aren't rotating (a case where engineers created art). It's still a cool book!
