Science!!!

My geekiness is not just confined to toys. The current display in my home office is science themed.

The orrery is a model from a British partwork magazine. First came across it in Ireland. Got the model a few years back for Christmas, and am very pleased with the finished product. The chemistry set is one I picked up at a toy auction.



From the toy auction I also purchased a lot of microscopes for a paltry sum.


Lionel Chem-Lab, also bought at the toy auction.
I am fascinated by Wunderkammer, and this is my modest attempt at one. 

Toy steam engines were also acquired from the toy auction. Need to see about restoring them.
