About Me

My photo
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.

Somewhere in the Middle East - 1190's

Led by Richard 1st, King of England, Duke of Aquitaine, Gascony & Normany, Lord of Cyprus, Count of Anjou, Maine, Nantes & Poitiers and Overlord of Brittany, Crusaders face-off against a raiding party of Salah ad-Din Yusuf ibn Ayyub's followers of the new religion.

Giant Knights, with a rather Norman-looking Richard I from Revell, face off against camel-mounted troops from Kinder (x3), Airfix (x2) and Italeri (x1) with foot skirmishers from Esci and Italeri.
