Archaeology at the Childrens' Museum

The Children's Museum has (or had, not sure if it was a permanent display) about archaeology. Here are some photos of its recreation of the Terracotta Army.

MIRA diecast 1/18 Suburban

Mira 1/18 scale 1950 GMC Suburban Carryall. Another piece leaving the collection. Nice little toy - sorry to get rid of it. Wheels are steerable, and doors and hood open.

Matchbox Adventure 2000

Messing around with my collection of Matchbox's Adventure 2000 and came to the determination that they are about O scale. As is the figure writing the parking ticket. 



Parking lot is simply a piece of sandpaper with electrian's tape for the markings.

The USS Indiana BB-1

Memorabilia associated with the USS Indiana on display at the Indiana War Memorial.



1/32 M24 Chaffee

Still thinning out my collection. M24 Chaffee light tank as modeled by 21st Century Toys. Got it at WalMart, I believe. Sold on eBay fairly quickly, so still a market for these.


70s Style Decor


Indianapolis re-did it's main library (much to my chagrin - the old building had a certain charm that's been lost). One of the editions is this reading chair. Definitely has a 70s vibe about it - can picture it on the set of Logan's Run.
