F is for Follow-up - Tents and Totem Poles

Couple of things I got round to doing which I should have done (tents) or meant to do (totem poles) at the time of the referred posts, but didn't as I'd forgotten the former and terminal laziness prevented the latter!

So, while I was getting the tents down and shooting them the other day, I forgot that (pretty-much the same week) a parcel arrived from Peter Evans, which had among all the polymer loveliness; a tent!

A tent which has the same four mould release-pin marks with the sharply-angled terminals, as the two we looked at the other day , and which are also for forcing a deep moulding off the male half of a moulding or machine-tool.

The find (realisation!) allows for a sizer/comparison shot between both the Jecsan question-mark (Speedwell/Trojan?) and the 'smallie' included in that post, for which a second colour variation as also appeared - as if from nowhere! Along with the 'Q is for...' one now ID'd by Edwin Fear (cheers Edwin) as a 4" action-figure accessory from Mattel's A-Team lines.

Also comparing the Jean totem-pole, with that copy we looked at the other week [a while back] when I renovated the generic carded set. You can see the copy is quite a bit smaller.

It's actually a Korona premium, not shown in Peter Konrad's Weichplastic-Werbefiguren, but mine's an early 2nd edition (1994), and showing all the signs of factory paint, one or two of the figures shown in Konrad's book have paint, although it's unusual for premiums, it's not impossible - it's like those Crescent [Kellogg's] guards; I'm sure there's a painted issue of them, perhaps production overspill/end of promotion clearance?

The blue one is an unpainted Jean original, and most 'large-scale' totem-poles are nicely scaled for 'small-scale' figures, not only that, but these from Airfix - having quite a bit of clothing - make reasonable northern 'woodland' Indians!
