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.

M is for More TaT!

I'm sure we’ve had that one before, but they were asking for it all those years ago!

Quick look at a boxed truck from TAT of Hong Kong this is toward the larger end of toy vehicle scales at around 1:43rd scale.

For some reason I didn't do a nose-on shot, so it looks like that old favourite of mine a Bedford MK, but I think it's a Ford D-Series? Also, while it's a skip-bodied tipper-truck, it doesn't tip! But it has a standard (for the time) flywheel, kinetic-energy 'friction' motor, so you win some, you lose some!

Box! It's got a box. That's it - box-ticked!
