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.

D is for Dude Decorated Dastardly Droids!

Well. I am mid-move and by tonight will actually be living in the flat rather than useing it as a storage overflow, but experiencing problems a minute ago getting online here (BT-WiFi chose this week - of all weeks - to go tits-up and convert to EE-WiFi), and having now got online I thought I'd find something quick to post, as a test, before I go back to the house and grab the bed springs we forgot to put in the van this morning . . . of course they'll fit in a Nissan Micra - they'll bloody have to!!

These were sent to the Blog by Brian Berke back in 2021 (I do keep telling you there's 900-odd folders in the long-queue!), and are his Wicked Duels / SCS Direct droids, after painting, but before he did the bases.


I particularly like his treatment of my favourite, the tracked one, it's sort of semi-military sand-yellow, just the job for sending into the deserts of the post-apocalyptic, derelict wastelands of Badlands Central and eliminating all those rebellious, democracy-loving, 'freedom fighter' liberal scum, with extreme prejudice!
