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.

G is for Gribeauval System - Sausage Wagon - Historex No's 676a, 676b & 30304

The 'Wurst' wagon ('chariot à saucisses', sûrement!)*. Take the caisson and add a padded roof for riding on and you can condemn your medical staff to the ride from hell! I'm guessing it was not a happy experience over more than a few hundred yards, and then only slowly!

* No, it was a 'wurst wagon' and please stop calling me Shirley!

Previously 676b (to the bare 676a kit), the vignette set with four figures and horses was re-numbered at some point, and the original black & white sketch was coloured at the same time.

The blurb in the middle image says it all; I know nothing, and I'm not even from Barcelona!
