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.

A is for Art Studio

Not really a part of the current sequence of railway figure posts per se, but rather a follow-up to this old post, and in particular the artists which I mentioned had been included in a Faller set, and we actually looked at that set's contents in an even earlier post here.
 
It happened that while looking for everything else, I passed this in the files, and while I'm not going to subject you to all the 'lost directions' in those files (but a lot will feature on the A-Z's one day), these do illustrate the use of Presier figures in a Faller set, something which probably only occurred a few times if again, and I stress, I'm not aware of another set that actually had figures, but they are often in the catalogues wandering about, and the odd, other Faller set, lends itself to some 'subject-related' figures?
 


The blackout sheet for electrification of the interior also contained a few paintings to be set up around the studio or on the easels, and there were three teeny nameplates on the set's packing sheet!

Bottom left shows the Preiser accessory runner with the art equipment, and that's it really, just ticking a box re. old references!
