Terra Cotta Army

Located in Katy, Texas. I actually stumbled upon this while looking up info on the pagoda I had posted earlier (not related) and decided to check it out. Pretty interesting site - included life sized and some smaller figures.

 

"The Tomb of Qin Shi Huang-di, the First Emperor, has been faithfully replicated in 1/3rd scale. The 6,000 piece army was made in Xi'an, the ancient capitol where the tomb was discovered in 1974.

 

Further we have our 1/20th scale replica of the Forbidden City, home to the Imperial family for almost 500 years. These palaces, halls, courtyards, and gardens were the seat of imperial power through two dynasties, and is now an official Palace Museum."
