About Me

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.

J is for Just a Quick-one!

For 99p in a charity shop the other day . . .

. . . came this wooden fort; flat-packed like a piece of Ikea's best, but I think I saw them in The Works about 8/10 years ago? It's got two figures! Is there a category of Toy Soldiers for them - Multi-directional Flats; Semi-flat Slots, Pseudo-flats, Slotty-slot Slottingtons?!!

I'll not be getting it out of the pack for a while, hence the quick-post nature of this post! It'll go in the 'paper and card flats box' (currently in storage) at some point, but due to greed on the part of the storage facility; that may be sooner than even I thought, which will benefit the blog!
 
I think from the measurements on the Quay-branded packaging it will have the same 'footprint' as all the other small-scale forts at between 6 & 8-inches per side?
 
Running late this week, so tomorrow's post will be late posting and I don't know what it will be yet!
