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.

P is for Plastic Popsters

A bit of a swizz, as we've seen these before here at SSW, but I had them out and shot them so we might as well have a brief reprise!

Above; we have a variation of colours, the final guitarist is more orangey than the camera's flash would allow, I think I've seen yellow sets (they tended to be sold in sets of the same colour), but never  ared set, which, as I've suggested before, is probably due to the fact that the drum-kits are always red plastic.

Below; a bit of paint variation within a single plastic-colour's palette.

The aforementioned Drum-kits; I gave him a 'proper' set, so he can knock-out a rolling solo while the rest of the band pop-off the stage for a top-up of Charlie!

The kit is well made, and clever, but machined not hand-sculpted, like the later skis we looked at a day or two ago, and consists of a hollow bass, two side-drums and a single cymbal on a spike. The skins - suspended over both ends of the hollow 'tube' - are just blank, self-adhesive, paper price-labels!

A complete band, but with colours from three 'sets' . . . Let's Rock!!

With our frilly, crooner's shirt! Hee-hee!
