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.

B is for Bijou Little Canoe

Except it's Beeju and it's a small-scale, not 'little'! I was hoping to find the other one, but I've already buried it again, so it will have to be seen another day, surface to say it's powder-blue and red if memory serves, which it usually does, but not always; it might be mint green, or even another yellow one!

Picked this up from Adrian at the recent Sandown Park toy fair, and it's a little peach, I'm pretty sure the aforementioned 'storage' one is lacking the oar, or has a rather truncated one hanging on at the glue-points like a cross-bar!

Full set of marks for EVB/Beeju some of who's 'planes, lorries/trucks and civilian vehicles we've seen here at SSW in the past. Hull is plain red, deck is plain yellow and sandwiched between the two . . .

. . . is a marbled layer of the two colours mixed to make an orangey Native American and his load, which consists of a slightly relief-carved bundle of provisions, two piles of furs, a tomahawk and the hint of a rifle under the other cargo - to keep it dry of course!
