About Me

My photo
No Fixed Abode, Home Counties, United Kingdom
I’m a 62-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.

S is for Space Shelfies & Sandown!

I got some shelfies from New York the other day, and I'll dig out some from Peter and myself, and we can have a couple of 'Army Men' posts in the run-up to Christmas, but I shelfied this in The Range yesterday, and as an excuse to remind you it's Sandown Park tomorrow, here's a quickie on a space set.
 
Big-box infant toy!
 
The AFV's are all new sculpts so - Space Tanks!
 

Retro-rocket!
 
Nothing exciting, but they will start appearing in mixed lots in a few years, and at least 'The Range' is an ID to archive them with, but yeah, Sandown Park Toy Fair, tomorrow, served by Esher train station, just off the A3, and not far from the M3 and M25 motorways.
