Bits in salmon-pink are later additions, notes or further information supplied by others.
Bits in Khaki-green are 'work-in-progress' listings and anyone is welcome to add missing details, whether single items or whole chunks.
All photographs are 6.5 (old Fuji), 8.3 (Samsung) or 16 (new Nikon) Mpx, and most will blow up to greater than screen size if you hover on them and click. However I've noticed some of the older images aren't enlarging, this is probably a Blogger/Picasa/date/traffic/auto-archive thing?
If you think you can add some information, or identify any of the 'unknowns', please use the comment feature rather than emailing me.
Bold; denotes 'real-world' product titles or nomenclature - sometimes!
Please report any dead links, and suggest any links you think should/could be added.
Note I have now found out how to switch-off the slide-show thingy, so just clicking on the photographs will open them on a whole page where most will then enlarge further with another click - if the cursor is in a 'plus' sign.
This doesn't seem to work for some of the older posts, this is a Blogger/Internet coding change thing I can do nothing about, one day I'll update or replace the more important ones but that's years away.
While waiting for an ok to join the RPG Bloggers network, I became a bit
frustrated.
So, here is a current blogroll of 1000+ English Language RPG blogs, an...
... and with strange aeons even death may die.
I'm not dead, just working on something else. That "something else" should
be released before the end of the...
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.
But I came here because I am looking for an entry you once wrote with a Land-Rover, I can't remember the maker of the toy, just a few details: military, british made, suspension, I left a comment... I think it would be a good idea to add Blogger's search app to Small Scale World. I have it in my blog, and nobody uses it, but who knows? in cases like this (where tags do not help), it could be useful!
Hi Gog - I can't log into my Blog at the moment!! And crashed the Library PC's five times on Friday - so it's lucky it's letting me write this!!
You're looking for the Britians Landrover...click on Britains down the right hand side and scroll through the Guards and Bandsmen, it should have been posted last Autumn or early Spring this year?!!
Gog - you are looking for the Britains Land Rover, posted about 9 - 12 months ago, try 'Briatins' in the tag list, should be after the recent Guards stuff abd around the same time as the 'Deetail' stuff last autumn or early spring 2012.
...you will have to ask!! haha! I tried to tell you several times where they were, but this new and unimproved Blogger has been deleting all anonymous comments despite my allowing them! And for the last two weeks I could only post anonymously because it wouldn't recognise me!
Then I finally got it to recognise me on Wednesday and it 'lost' the comment when I up-loaded it! luckily I borrowed some Internet last night to finally leave a comment on my own Blog...what a pa-lava!
I've now topped-up the stupid, slow speed, cant find its own signal Vadafone dongle, and should get some serious Blogging done if the weather stays wet!
For those not used to Blogger, the below 'index' allows you to find similar posts by their content, just click on the label (word) that best suits you search needs. I have tried to label by
- Country of origin of toy - Country represented by toy - Maker - Material - Scale/Size/Ratio - Era represented by toy - Whether subject is civil/military - Other 'themes' Etc...
Re-annotating the index is an ongoing project, in the meantime to save on space (there is a limit on the number of characters and the number of labels) I have started using abbreviations, which are as follows:
All other abbreviations are part of the recognised name of a company or organisation.
The hiarachy of the listing pushes non-standard letters to the end of the section so Märklin (with an umlaut) is the last 'M' &etc...the Cyrillic lettered brands are at the end of the whole list.

Except we never really got round to having a summer here, just a couple of hot days a few weeks ago!
Hi Hugh,
Nice picture!

Can't agree more, Autumn has hit suddenly and with a vengeance here!

Thanks, yes, I have just found it...
You use a lot of tags, but they need some "memory" on the reader side, otherwise...
