Hot Wheels Triumph TR6 (T9755)

I have been on a 1/64 scale binge of late. All part of my pointless efforts to recapture my youth. I spent many countless hours with my neighborhood friend Raymond playing with Hot Wheels and building roads in the front flowerbeds of his house. 

 This is from the 2011 Track Stars series. A Triumph TR6 by Hot Wheels.

1/64 scale Gas Station

I snagged a 1/64 scale Chevron gas station/food mart off of eBay. Impressive amount of detail for the price. Some buyers remorse in that still available new for not much more, and the stickers on this have wear and some are missing. Made by Daron toys. 

The fuel hoses are flexible and can be taken from the pump.

The doors to the food mart open with a push of the blue button on the left.

Good Example of weathering

Went to the Indiana State Fair last August and came across this old International Harvester truck while parking. The Indiana School for the Deaf is next to the fairgrounds and overflow parking is available on the campus. The Harvester has certainly seen better days. The building behind it is part of the School for the Deaf. It appears to be closed to perform asbestos removal. I have no idea what the future plans are for it, but it is a jewel of a building, so hopefully it will be refurbished. I am assuming that it is on the National Registry for Historic Buildings.

Everybody needs a hobby - part duex

Something about hot air balloons at early evening always takes my breath away. 

The only time I've been in a balloon is a tethered balloon at Conner Prairie.
