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.

Q is for Quickie! Seen Elswhere

And actually seen here! I was going to do a longish post on Ambulances, but I was up at 4:40 to drive to Luton and have successfully battled the salary mongs on the M25, back again. Now fatigue is catching-up, and I'm going to have a snooze before work, so here very much as a reminder, are a few bits from last year's Plastic Warrior show, which - as far as this year's - is only four Saturday's away, three and half weeks peeps! We did see them in last years show report posts, but these went on a Faceplant group at the time.
 
A pair of 1st version British Paratroopers from Airfix.
 
A trio of Trojan 14th Army figures, joining a growing sample.
 
Four of the Hilco ANZACs cloned from Timpo, which had been on my shopping-list last year, I'm not sure what's on the list this year, in fact, I don't know, because I've given it little thought, beyond the one or two 60mm Crescent Mohicans I still need! But I've three weeks to give it some thought, and save some dosh, and, so do you!
 
Contact details, I expect Brian Carrick (who was to feature in the Ambulance post!) will do a detailed travel guide in the next week or so, and there'll be more on Faceplant for those still there.

N is for Not u'Nuthurrr One!

Oh yeah! Winging its way to me just before I went off to work yesterday . . . no, it had been there for a while, but I was ill the day before, and a bit slow yesterday! However, I promised to post it by last night, only to realise I couldn't extract the image from a PDF, Doh! So a bit late, but, in case anyone hasn't seen it yet (it's been on John's, Stads' and PW's Blogs already!) here's notification of . . .
 
. . . the 41st year of Plastic Warrior'ing! Some of you may notice it's slipped another couple of weeks in the calendar, but if you're one of those whose spent out at Sandown Park in May (guilty as a Perp in Mega City One, m'lud), you'll now have seven or eight weeks to save-up for Twickenham's polymer-fest . . . Bargain!
 
 
4th July? That rings a bell? . . . Hummmm, 4th July . . . oh yeah! Battle of Klushino, upstart Russia taught a lesson by the Poles in 1610, that'll be something to commemorate! See you there!
