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.

B is for Breaking News - Toy Fair Latest!

Latest announcement on the toy 'wire' is a range of topical kits from Revell . . .

The first in the series is reportedly going to be followed by a Belarus-1522 dragging a T-80BVM MBT with damaged 'cope cage', an Agromash-180TK towing a 9K33 Osa/SA-8 'Gecko' and a Western John Deer pulling a BTR-82A IFV, all common-enough sights around Ukraine these days.

Cheers Will, I'll add a note tomorrow; the picture's not mine, it came through Faceplant anonymously yesterday with the Revell in the corner, I just added everything else, but I kept posting earlier drafts on groups and mates feeds so there are several versions out there! Share away!
