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 Follow-up & Farm, S is for Seen Elsewhere, T*R is for Tudor Rose

Third visit to these I think, but that may be my posting elsewhere, whatever, these are examples of the colours you can find, the early, hard, glassy styrene Tudor Rose farm animals manufactured in.

Seen elsewhere, a while ago now, so far cows are in the lead, but I think when this sample (now in storage), the original sample (always in storage of some sort, so far) and the last shot here (below) are brought together the pigs will win by a nose!
 
The cows in their corral!

So, we now have a white pig, but I wonder if it will be a long wait for a grey one, which will leave sheep as a joint first (assuming they don't have a pink version), but if neither have a brown iteration, it will be four-all across the board!

And we now have a black pony, although I think there are one or two in the never-seen sample? Finding the colours has become a fun game, as they only ever come-in in dribs and drabs, and colours within each sample seem tight to two or three, so they may have gone-out as batches. There are also several shades of white, which I'm ignoring for now, and so fare the fences have only been seen in brown, but white and black should be believable?
