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.

C is for Culpitt's Crafted-Clay Combat Cake Curio

Picked this up a month or two ago, current production from the investor-owned brand which was once the family-owned firm of Cullpitt.

CD0092 - Claydough Soldier, made in China and available now, he's polymer and he's a soldier so he's in the right place, but that's about as much as I can say politely! I guess he's supposed to be a Marine? I don't know what's happening with the buttons!

He was actually broken, and glued, in the factory, with a blob of silicone, which meant that by the time I got him home he'd become two parts! However it gives some clues as to technique and method, so worth a few shots!

That's it, Culpitt's polyclay not-a-paratrooper!
