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.

F is for Fuchsia-Flushed Feline

As well as 'the year of the footballers', 2018 has also been the year of the carmine cougar, here on Small Scale World; equally accidentally, although with some design in the middle of the year when I looked for a few on feeBay! There weren't many in the storage lots, but three have turned-up in time to be posted before the year's end!

The key-ring we've seen before, around 50mm and old-school PVC, the 'green panther' is an old European premium (Olà Ice Cream?) in polyethylene and showing all the signatures of Tito except the mark, while the bike must have been Corgi's entry for novelty vehicle of 1979!

A rocket-firing, low-raked, street-fighter! What the fuck's that all about, the Pink Panther may have covered his little nemesis in paint occasionally, even helped him down a few holes in the road or pavement, but last time I looked he wasn't a cold-blooded killer?

The cowling is a styrene polymer and can be damaged if it comes into contact with the PVC cat, while the die-cast body has polyethylene wheels and I think this probably went in a little sub-set with the Muttley thing?
