Part of my RAF display, with King and Country Warbird, King and Country Glossy, Kind and Country, Frontline, Forward March (Gorgi), Traditional, Asset, William Britains and Del Prado. Scales wise they all go together (more or less). Thanks Scott

I have two display cabinets that are absolutely full. I have cupboards of items, particularly diorama pieces that stay in boxes because I have no more room. The other day I searched through to try and remember how many Sudan pieces I have; they have never been displayed and cannot remember...

John I believe Rupert Murdoch lost over $500 million dollars buying, and subsequently selling 'My Space'; I hope he is not a forum member as being reminded of this may well wreck his weekend! Cheers Scott

Between Marc and Robin I have to say gentlemen your diorama skills and imagination are top shelf. Makes me embarrassed when I look at my collection with either factory accessories on a mat or Marc's hand made bridge with a tank on it surrounded by pretty well nothing! Your abilities are...

Twenty years ago I had my honeymoon in America. We witnessed everybody pouring maple syrup all over their bacon and eggs and thought the whole idea crazy. Fast forward 20 years and I like nothing more than bacon, eggs, pancakes covered in maple syrup, just fantastic. Whenever I see the words...

If there is one true benefit of collecting Toy Soldiers as a hobby is the fact that, after 50 years, I finally get Birthday presents and XMAS presents that I actually like! Cheers Scott

Andy Following on from your comments I would like to suggest 'Brick and Mortar' Toy Soldier shops are similar to Book Shops. I feel lucky that I have a Toy Soldier Shop nearby that I happened to visit today. Whilst my wallet is a touch lighter and I now (unplanned) collect two new ranges, the...

Having personally dealt with a number of K&C dealers both in Australia and other parts of the world, in addition to buying or seeking advice from a number of members on this very forum (primarily from the USA), I would be very interested to hear from your worldly perspective just how many K&C...

Dear WW2 Whilst I agree in principal to your observations, in this particular case: - the customer complains to the tailor about his bespoke suits - the same customer complains to the tailor about producing mass produced suits - the very same customer complains to the tailor about producing...

Maybe you should have paid more attention!!!

Jack Maybe he will soften his stance at the XMAS party. Cheers Scott

Andy Why don't you make every plane out of polystone, wood and a plastic kit, then you can set up a data base of all 10,000 or so active collectors and send everyone every model plane you produce in the medium of their choice, for free. A solution that meets everyone's requirements!

Jack I can only assume you have never seen the movie "Cowboys V Aliens" Harrison Ford and Daniel Craig; that movie surpasses everything in terms of horribleness, and I also watched it on the plane. Felt like asking for my money back. Cheers Scott

Andy I have actually seen a picture of a group of warriors standing around a camp fire in Mesopotamia around 800 BC lamenting the end of the Bronze Age, from the expressions on their face they looked quite worried. Cheers Scott

Terry Further research has revealed the German aristocrats liked to eat their pigeons 'al dente'. Apparently the Italians then ran with the idea! Cheers Scott

Andy I feel you have overlooked some very important issues; Germans did not use sandbags due to an American patent issue (Hitler did not want to enter into a protracted legal battle, he was worried about costs) and most certainly German Tank Commanders did not fire their pistols in the air...

Serge I overcame the issues of postage and possible damage in transit by flying from Australia to Hong Kong and collecting my Warbird in person. The only negative was the fact it cost A$6700.00 to do so! Cheers Scott

Purely out of interest and information to those that may not know, K&C Wooden Warbirds do not come in a dedicated K&C box. They are all delivered in a plain, everyday type box and packed individually (and carefully) as can be seen in the pictures. You do receive a A4 sized certificate, but if...

Gordon I think the "Grammer Police, Base Police and Dio Police" comment can be ignored, some choose to contribute in a positive manner to the forum whilst a very small number of people use the forum as a vehicle to repeat the same thing over and over and over again; a bit like the Australian...

Rob, whilst it is appreciated that you are trying to be nice, Australia is simply pathetic. Kind words may need to be directed to all the people that have tickets for the fifth day of all the ensuring Test Matches, they indeed need our sympathises! Cheers Scott
