Model toy combined with one or more pictures

Abstract

A picture slot (13a), picture recess (13d), or modular picture-viewing frame apparatus (13g) combined with a toy that models an inanimate object. Example inanimate objects include: model trains; airplanes; rockets; rescue vehicles; construction or farm vehicles or machines; buses; cars; buildings; and various destinations such as a circus tent or zoo exhibit. A picture (18a, 18b) may be secured behind a model window (11, 11a), model door (12), or any opening through which an object might typically be viewed by a removable enclosure (14a, 14c, 14f) or hinged enclosure (14b, 14d, 14e) closed by gravity, friction, screw (15a), clasp (15b), or other fastener. Transparent film (19) is incorporated into picture slot (13a), picture recess (13d), hinged enclosure (14b, 14d, 14e), or modular picture-viewing frame apparatus (13g) so that picture (18a, 18b) is protected and viewable.
