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.

News, Views etc . . . General Roundup

Obit's
I don't often stray into gaming territory, as it's really a different bough rather than another branch of the hobby, but this guy was clearly loved and respected within the industry and too young, RIP

Warhammer
 
 
Nostalgia
I had to refresh after clicking the cross-button on the pop-up - old Dundee toy stores!
 
 


Miniatures
I cant's remember if I've posted this before, but there's tons and while Prieser and Noch figures are to the fore, he uses all sorts of scales and figures, and of all the sites with this type of stuff, Tatsuya Tanaka's is about the best.


ACW


Beautiful Brass
