    M14’s in Action!

    We were only issued M14 semi-automatic rifles in my U.S. Army unit (320th USASA Bn) in Germany in 1963-64. The full automatic version had a heavier barrel and a bi-pod and was intended as a replacement for the squad BAR. It turned out to be less than satisfactory since it was too light and was...

    My King & Country Acquisitions Blitz

    Thanks Gary. I agree that the shelves are more crowded than I would like in a perfect world, but to display them otherwise would mean that I would have to remove a couple of AFVs per shelf and not display them at all. At two per shelf, it would involve removing 20 AFVs which I have too much...

    My King & Country Acquisitions Blitz

    I now more or less have most of my new K&C acquisitions on display with the exception of 15 sets. The new Pulaski curio and the new bookcase are now out of space for additional sets. I also cleared an additional shelf in my original toy soldier room to display the K&C sets that have extra long...

    Mike Tarantino's Toy Soldier Collection

    Yesterday, I received from Treefrog the back ordered JG Miniatures JGTM06 Beach Mat for Landing Craft which I have now incorporated into my King & Country D-Day diorama. It is 30 X 13 inches in size and costs $95. I am also going to have to order the JG Miniatures sand mat so I can fill in the...

    Mike Tarantino's Toy Soldier Collection

    With the recently acquired bookcase, I now have an appropriate place to display my Hiriart camel and elephant sets. Prior to this, 12 of the 13 sets displayed were still tied into their boxes. I will have acrylic doors made for all my open bookcase shelves to keep the dust at a minimum and...

    Mike Tarantino's Toy Soldier Collection

    It is a neat series, isn't it? I also thought it was odd that there wasn't an officer figure offered for the 60th Royal Americans especially in light of the fact that all the provincial regiments offered a choice of two officers. I would also like to see royal and regimental standards for the...

    Mike Tarantino's Toy Soldier Collection

    Thanks Robin, I thought so too. We visited the French fort at Louisburg in Nova Scotia in 1978 and the buildings inside the fort were similar, if I recall correctly. Mike

    Scenes from the HIRIART Workshop

    I also always look forward to seeing the new sets or even the existing ones when they are in the workshop after being painted, but before they have been tied into their boxes.

    IF044 AS-42 Sahariana Crew

    For those of you not completely familiar with the K&C AS-42 Sahariana, here is what it looks like next to a K&C Italian M13/40 Tank. It has almost the same footprint as the tank, but, to me, looks incomplete without a crew.

    Wayne, Here is where I am storing my empty boxes, at least for the time being. Since K&C boxes are attractive, I may just keep them here. Mike
