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.

F is for Foot Chasseurs, of the Imperial Guard - Historex No's 637 / 703

I'd just about got my head round mounted Chasseurs not being Hussars, while being Hussars, and now someone takes their horses away! As Obelix would say "Those Wellintonians are crazy"!

Still the numbering is more straightforward; so far I'm guessing the 700's are an earlier or alternate numbering system and the 600's a newer/expanded range, but that doesn't explain the 100's, or the fact that the colour plate refers to the previous post, as will the next one - it seems 703 is all Guarde Imperiale!
