About Me

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.

U is for Unknown Czechs!

I am around and I am posting, but over on the Giant or What Blog, rather than here, having just clicked-over five million hits since the 1st of October last year, I'm probably feeling a bit complacent, despite knowing it's mostly bots!
 
Anyway, I've tweaked the temporary page on small-scale hollow horses from the former colony of Hong Kong and turned it into a more permanent introduction and overview, and will hopefully get more horses up on that Blog in the near future, but here's a Small Scale World quicky, to show I'm alive!
 
And hopefully there will be Christmas stuff forthcoming on the Home [this] Blog, the rail posts and a motorcycle mini-season, although watching the rustling twat post some military train eBay scrapings a few days after I mentioned the rail posts the other day, it'll be interesting to see what desperate shite from a doll show, this announcement produces, over there!
 



Picked this vignette up a while ago, I don't think it's Drevopodnik, too good (?), but have Durolin or SMC as possible sources in Czechoslovakia? Medic and patient, with a sticker which could point to touristy stuff, or an export model, it follows the fashion of Elastolin and Lineol, who both produced rear-area stuff like this, Indeed, it may be a straight copy? Anyone know who made it?
