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.

L is for Langly Models

Just box-ticking a firm which isn't in the Tag-list much, as part of the model railway figure season, and because I'm chasing targets! A bunch of scans I did the other day of older stuff from this whitemetal producer, I have no idea how much of this stuff is still in production, but old moulds do wear-out, while a quick perusal of the website reveals some nice guards-band figures.







 
Langley are still going, and their website is to be found here;

 
Where there is a nice potted-history of the company, formed in 1968.
