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.

Q is for Question Time - Charging Flats

A set of three matching flats today, they were in storage, but in a box of TBS's, not in the flats boxes, so I must have picked them up at Birmingham's show in 2011. Three bayonets intact too!

GI Flats; Made In Portugal; Osul; Plástico Osul; Plastic Soldiers; Plastic Toy Figures; Plastic Toys; Portugal; Question Time; Small Scale World; smallscaleworld.blogspot.com; Unknown Flats; Unknown Toy Figures; Vintage Plastic Flats; Vintage Toy Soldiers;
Anyone recognise them? I'd like them to be Plástico Osul from Portugal (and will tag as such just to group them), and there are similarities with both the cows and the kneeling figure (seen here previously), although these are more 'khaki infantry' than the more colonial-looking soldier I know is Osul? The green figure here is a similar shade to one of the cows, and bases look the same!
