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.

C is for Circus Caravan

We've looked at the larger version of this once or twice, but the smaller one needs a quick box-tick and is notable for having a draft-camel rather than the horse teams or locomotives of the larger set, or my other small blister.

The camel appears to have a different draw-bar to the alternate horse in my existing set, and is quite a good sculpt, based on the Britains 'Zoo' baby camel I think; hollow like the large-set's towing horses, and it comes with two Crescent-copy circus horses, which would be disappointing if you were going to open it and play with the contents?

We looked at the contents of these sets here, but a couple of close-ups anyway, and the oddity that one of the horses has been stuck to the [Merit copy] wagon-floor with the wrong leg! That's it, quick box-ticking on the alternate contents of a set we've seen previously here - once I'm settled we'll have a proper look at all three sets and the loose samples in one - bigger - post over on the Giant or Not Blog.
