Summary

Pathe synopsis: Although generally associated with the nursery or playroom, plasticine is not necessarily for children only. To prove our point, we introduce sixty-four-year-old Mr Albert Blanchard, of Bathampton, who uses it with the skill and brilliance of a true artist. One of his models, a 4 ft 6 in. replica of a Roman chariot, took two months to complete - and contains a hundredweight of plasticine.
