About Me

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 Question Time - Instruction Sheet

Anyone recognise this instruction sheet? The archive includes a folder of unknown HK stuff and an A4, 9-litre Really Useful Box full of unknown or 'mixed' cuttings, this is among them.

Aoshima?; Bandai?; Fujimi?; German Infantry; German Soldiers; German Toy Figurines; Model Figures; Model Kits; Modelling; Nitto?; No.58 - 1972 - 1 - 2; Polystyrene Figure; Polystyrene Toy Soldiers; Question Time; Small Scale World; smallscaleworld.blogspot.com; Tamiya?; Unknown; Unknown Model Kit; Unknown Toy Figures; Unknown Toy Soldiers;
I recognise them as Tamiya poses, but the assortment (only five figures; no prone MG) is wrong, nor does the base spring-out as instantly recognisable, so I suspect copies, and 1:35th? So possibly not Bandai's 1:48th (they had little square bases I think), but maybe Aoshima? Nitto cloned them in 1:76th, quite crudely.

The only clue is No.58 1972 [and a] 1 [and] 2 (part sets?) and the star down the bottom of the sheet; which could be Tamiya's, or an asterisk! The reverse is blank, but that may only be because it's a photo-copy.
