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.

T is for The Mirror Should Have Cracked!

With three Hippo's standing on it, but they were quite small and polymer! Just me playing at trying to be artsey with the imagery . . .

Hippo's; Hippopotami; Hippopotamus; Plastic Toy Animals; Plastic Toy Figures; Plastic Zoo Animals; Small Scale World; smallscaleworld.blogspot.com; The Mirror Cracked; The Mirror Should Have Cracked; Timpo; Timpo Hippo's; Timpo Hippopotami; Timpo Hippopotamus; Timpo Zoo Animals; Wild Animal Models; Wild Animals; Wild Life; Wildlife; Zoo Animals;
. . . using some Timpo hippopotami, with a [later?] unpainted, coloured plastic one (aimed at the infant market?) on the left, and two [earlier?] painted ones in brown from the zoo line, standing on a  mirror with a jungle'y background . . . it didn't work very well; the mirror-image is sort of doubled, fir reasons I vaguely understand but car't be arsed to try and explain; it's all light-angles and crap . . so . . . that's it!
