About Me

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 the Last Supper

Something a bit austere for Good Friday, is Good Friday meant to be austere, or is that Ash Wednesday and when was (or is) Ash Wednesday? Given that the Lord (if you believe in him) burnt his own cathedral to the ground at the start of the second holiest of Holy Weeks (and what message did that send his believers - as far as I know the Burning Bush never lost a leaf!) and that the whole holiday is supposed to be a memorial to the slow, painful, death by suffocation of crucifixion; it ought to be more austere in its entirety than the face-stuff it's become? Ascension Day should be the face-stuffing day - Zombie Jesus!

Bible Toy; Biblical Toy; Easter Crafts; Easter Story; Easter Toys; Easter Vignette; Jesus Christ; Last Supper Statuette; New Testament; Poured Resin Casting; Religious Figures; Religious Vignette; Small Scale World; smallscaleworld.blogspot.com; Statuary; Statue; The Last Supper;
No branding; no pack drill; probably Italian. A larger lump of poured resin or the euphemistic 'polystone' I shot through the window of a furniture store in Aldershot a year ago and forgot to show you last year! The figures were only around 60mm, so quite compatible with a lot of other stuff, particularly biblical figures, not least - of course - those plinth-based Marx TJF keeps finding!
