. . . We've seen this chap or chapess (or
Chappie? A UK-centric joke, and then only 'gettable' if you bought dog-food in
the 1970's!) before, as he/she was literally the first (or second?) thing I saw
when I opened the parcel!
Arriving on a Saturday; I had a whole
weekend to sort it out and starting about half-nine in the evening, I'd
produced these piles by midnight! because I've been slack about putting stuff
away, or just slow . . . . now I'm also trying to filter-in the two main lots - attic
and garage - with the 'recent purchases/donations' stuff in my room, there are
a number of bog-standard shopping bags, each of which is thematic, so these
piles are destined for the second phase of a three or four-phase process!
From the top left we have; wagons and wagon
bits/horses; bits & pieces including buildings and scenics; motorcycles,
riders and drivers; Civilian and sports - less footballers, then returning
along the bottom row; footballers; sci-fi and fantasy; a little pile fo cavemen
(below) and halloween/horror stuff (above), whith all the farm and zoo animals
- bottom left.
Again clockwise from the top left; all
ceremonial figures, highlanders and guards; historical including ancient and
medieval; Wild West, a small pile of novelty cats (with a couple of new ones,
I'll try to do them as a fun post over Christmas); the two wooden sentry-boxes
we've seen now; 20th/21st century 'army men', khaki infantry and such-like;
cartoon and TV/Movie-related, and finally; trains, planes, automobiles and some
boats!
I never cease to be amazed at the stuff
Chris (or Peter, Jim, Trevor, the two Brians et al), send to the blog, often as their chuck-outs or because they
think I may be able to weave whatever it is into a post at some point, and
indeed the blog is a voracious beast, so the more oddities we have the faster
we can stoke it - witness the speed those two wooden sentry-boxes proved their
worth!
The next two posts today will look at some
of the highlights, but Chris; thank you very much.
