About Me
- Hugh Walter
- 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.

E is for Extra Tin-Plate Post
Brian B sent me a shot of his - probably -
Shilling tree-hangers, so I went-off and found a cheap MC and sidecar to make a
post! It's a little one, but perfectly formed!Lovely colours; a deep lemon-yellow and a
rich tangerine orange, with sky-blue highlights. The motorcycle has a series of
thin plates running round and covering the main seam to prevent nasty cuts, as
does the passenger, and the sidecar is on the right-hand side for those who
have adopted the Napoleonic rule of the road - sword to sword, 'cos the
Europeans are always fighting!
As per his comment on one of the recent
posts here are Brian's TX507 (Bus), TX513 (Loco) & TX514 (Tram), using the
Hawkin-Tobar catalogue codes, I don't know if they extend to Roggaz's ZZ or Schilling,
but they are the same tools, same for-Germany marks and same paint-schemes. Note the eclectic stuff around them and the now finished STS Direct impish cyclopean!
