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 - Seated Sailor Sitting Serenely

Prompted by the Pyro/Kleeware AFV figure which turned-up the other day, Chris has sent this to the Blog with a plea for more information . . .

A smiling sailor sitting, one assumes from a vehicle toy but was it plastic or a die-cast/slush-cast sort of thing? Or was it a boat or landing-craft toy of some kind . . . a DUKW or amphi-jeep; anyone know?

He's larger than the Pyro sculpt so it must have been a large toy and he's not apparently driving anything, so there may have been a bunch of them sitting in a row!
