About Me

My photo
No Fixed Abode, Home Counties, United Kingdom
I’m a 60-year-old Aspergic gardening CAD-Monkey. Sardonic, cynical and with the political leanings of a social reformer, I’m also a toy and model figure collector, particularly interested in the history of plastics and plastic toys. Other interests are history, current affairs, modern art, and architecture, gardening and natural history. I love plain chocolate, fireworks and trees, but I don’t hug them, I do hug kittens. I hate ignorance, when it can be avoided, so I hate the 'educational' establishment and pity the millions they’ve failed with teaching-to-test and rote 'learning' and I hate the short-sighted stupidity of the entire ruling/industrial elite, with their planet destroying fascism and added “buy-one-get-one-free”. Likewise, I also have no time for fools and little time for the false crap we're all supposed to pretend we haven't noticed, or the games we're supposed to play. I will 'bite the hand that feeds', to remind it why it feeds.

L is for Lazy Post - again!

Tired and busy, so another quick dip into the archive;

First up is a close up of the two moulding variants of the Herald/Britains Robin Hood figure, note the feather.

A comparison shot similar to the one I showed when covering the WWII range with Tudor Rose a while ago, but with other figures. From left to right; Holgar Ericson 20mm for Comet/Authenticast, US 'Grunt'; Spencer Smith 25mm ACW Confederate/Slouch Hat; Spencer Smith 25mm 'Connoisseur Range'; SAE/Swedish African Engineers 30mm ECW musketeer.

Gratuitous shot of three Giant chariots!
