Grissom AFB gate guards

I was out for a drive with my wife when I stopped at Grissom AFB. Lighting was good, so, even though the museum was closed, I got out to snap some pictures from the perimeter.

Attack Track (MB965) - Matchbox missile launcher

I've added a number of Matchbox's "Attack Track" (MB965) to my collection with the intent to repaint them. I want them for war gaming, and at $1 a pop, the price is right. Not perfect for what I want, and a little small for 1/72, I'm still glad that I got them. Detailing is good overall, and I'm hopeful that a repaint will bring it out more. The missile bay has no detailing, which is to be expected, but I like that the missile is meant to be detached.

Greenlight Collectibles Exclusive Figure Multipack

I went to a die-cast show this past weekend (Yogi's Vintage Toy & Diecast) in Noblesville and picked up some new additions. The show is held twice a year and is a smallish show. Not sure how many vendors, but I'd hazard a guess at 15-25 vendors all said. I found some bargains and found some things I don't ever see in the stores, including this Figure Multipack by Greenlight. I got it for $5.00, which seems like the going rate. At $0.83 a figure, it seems a little steep, but they are painted, and 1/64 figures aren't that common.
