About Me

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.

ABC is for Another Beauty Catalogued!

I received some lovely 'might be/probably' ABC figures from Chris Smith a few days/weeks ago, which are in a future 'H is for How . . . ' post (and which I have posted elsewhere recently for those who saw them), but I've also managed to track this down;

ABC; ABC American Jeep; ABC Army Jeep; ABC Copies; ABC Hong Kong; ABC Jeep; ABC Khaki Infantry; ABC Toy Soldiers; ABC US Jeep; AFV's; American Jeep; Army Jeep; Army Vehicle; Hong Kong Army Jeep; Hong Kong Copies; Hong Kong Piracy; Hong Kong Toy Jeep; Made in Hong Kong; Small Scale World; smallscaleworld.blogspot.com; US Jeep;
It's starting to lose its bonnet-graphics and is missing a spare-wheel (which may turn-up in the spares box), but is otherwise in good nick for something which probably dates from the late 1950's or very early 1960's. The next question is whether it goes with the green figures we've seen here before, or one of the various iterations of Monogram copy - we've also seen, and I suspect the later, so will be looking at them more closely when they come out of storage, but for now - new Jeep!
