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 Lesser & Pavey

Shot these at the Gift Fair the other day, these are tin-plate and resin piles of shite, the sort of thing you find in 'boutique' shops, garden centres and TKMaxx, bought, put on a shelf for 30, 40 years, knocked-off by the odd cat or grandchild, then dumped in a skip by the executors or sent to a charity shop, who, if it's obviously damaged, dump it in a skip!
 

The tank is a sort of Italio-British Panzer II! While the helicopter is a mishmash of several, but the Jeep and Land Rover were quite good.
 

There were civil items too, quite a few, but I concentrated on the military stuff, you'll be familiar-enough with this stuff, from the 'smarter' end of your high-street! And it's another box ticked - Lesser & Pavey.
