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.

F is for Follow-up - 007

Just a quickie, the loose one was actually under my nose at the time of the previous visit to this . . . hay-ho!

Obviously, pushing down on the nipple sticking out of the turret releases a catch and the rubber band is supposed to send the flame 'tongue' shooting-out, on mine the band has lost a fair deal of its original power so it's not exactly an instant action!

Once fired the tongue just lolls there until you push it back in, looking as realistically like flames as my foot! But it was only a cheapie rack-toy , which is why it also sometimes catches on the 'lips' of the mouth and doesn't fire at all.

Not the best .gif I've done, lighting's poor and it's a bit jerky, but it gets across the action!
