I think that was set number C02 The Home Guard - W.W.2. in the series "The Specials"

Cheers

I belive your right, I think the cost was about £18.00. I wonder how many sets were made?

Martyn,
Your sets are incredible, I think we have seen about 20 or so, only another 100 or so to go. I can hardly wait to see what is coming next. Thanks for posting them.

That's if the LT is up for a lot of retakes

PS-who is this K&C you refer to?

 

[Go for Broke]

I agree with Hawkeye, I collect 99% KC WWII, but these Trophy sets are just beautiful and wide ranging. If only I had an endless supply of money..... Keep the pictures coming. I'm always surprised.

Martyn,
This great surprise awaited me this morning when I turned on my PC at work. I hope I can be productive and crack the whip today, or maybe I'll monitor the forum all day. Happy Anniversary.

Rorke’s Drift 1879

The Hospital has been set ablaze and the survivors are making their way, via the biscuit box wall, to Surg. Reynolds and his assistant Cpl Miller at the Storehouse.

The biscuit box wall is solid

Once the men are safely inside the order is given FIX BAYONETS and the squad is ready to “Fill the gap” in the wall.

“Pot that fellow”

To be continued……………..

Hi Jeff

I have found this list of sets entitled “THE SPECIALS”

CO1R Pirate booty – set includes Captain Henry Morgan burying treasure beneath a palm tree
CO2 The Home Guard
CO3 The Salvation Army Band – 14 piece set, limited to 100 sets
CO4R A bottle of rum – A pirate takes a drink of rum
CO5 Founder of the Salvation Army CO3 add on
CO6 Pirates playtime – Pirate, girlfriend and ships cat

Quite a strange mix of sets I think you will agree

Cheers

Martyn,
You are getting into the Big Screen I see! A huge endeavor for this dio...Where are the other Zulus besides the potted one? Good job all around and I love seeing the survivor sets.

I'm sure you'll note Maryn that I haven't contributed any photos having a good hunch that they would be supplied by you with a vast array of sets and figures highligting the events that took place a 130 years ago. Thanks Martyn for making my day as well as 1879's and I'm sure others. Got another hunch you've been one happy camper putting it all together and looking forward to seeing what else is in store for us.......The Lt.

Martyn,
Your set-up is exhaustive, and your execution flawless. Everybody is in their spots, and I am both envious and enjoyment at the same time! This is truly an inspiration for remembrance and collecting, history and hobby. I can't grovel enough, Your Most Humble and Obediant Servant.
