About Me

My photo
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.

G is for Gigantic Scorpion

A sting from a scorpion this big would fill you with so much liquid, instantaneously, you would explode like a water balloon, before you felt the burning seer of any poison! Continuing the image dump/Picasa clearance exercise, with the last of the three AMT-Ertl Gigantics, and the other one carried by Airfix immediately prior-to and during the General Mills years.





 
Box.


As far as I know, this kit was the only kit with a waterslide transfer sheet, for the shopfronts of one of the damaged building mouldings, included in the kit.




 
Instruction sheet.
 
 
Card background/backdrop for arranging the other elements in a rudimentary disorama.
