    Commando SL

    Hi Guys, Lots of collectors make lost of suggestions… thanks to that K&C is never short of ideas for new figures… but that’s the easy part! The hard part is trying to balance all those ideas with a proper work schedule, budget and a sensible release timetable. We appreciate our collector’s...

    Operation Northwind and new BBG Sets

    Hi Guys, Our experience over the last couple of years has shown that many collectors like to use our winter-themed/clothed German troops in both Western and Eastern Front battle scenarios. K&C encourages that… collectors buy what they like and utilize the figures and vehicles in whatever way...

    K&c Increases Prices : I need Another Job!

    Hi Guys, In reference to the above subject… The standard cost for an individual K&C figures is approximately US$25 per piece. The additional costs found with some lines are the result of either extra detailing (e.g. the Crusaders & Saracens) or a ‘bulkier’ figure that contains more metal. The...

    Winter Germans

    Since we’re talking about Battle of the Bulge Germans, I thought I might give you a preview of a BBG photo spread that is going to appear in the winter quarter’s “COLLECTOR”. Some of you may recognize this diorama from the Chicago Show. It was sold to a family of long term K&C customers. Enjoy!

    KC Chicago Show-German Bulge Diorama

    Hi Guys, Yes, as suspected, one of the tracked vehicles I was talking about is the Raupen Schlepper. It will be formally announced in this month’s Dispatches… which will hopefully be posted by the end of the day! It is a standard production vehicle (e.g. available for purchase).

    The new FJ's

    Hi Guys, I came across this photograph during my research on the Fallschirmjager. It was taken in Crete in 1941. I thought it might be of interest to the discussion of the Bugler! Based on our research, though it might be surprising, some Fallschirmjager did indeed carry bugles. As has...

    Crete

    Hi Guys, Glad you like the diorama. To clarify, yes it was sand used as a ground cover and the lighting did have a slight effect on the color. More to come, so I'd better get back to work with the other 'elves'. :D

    Ancient Egyptian Line

    I agree Chris; I have been fascinated with Egypt since I was young. The Ptolemies (Cleopatra's Dynasty) are a particularly lively bunch but I also find the Amarna period really interesting. The accomplishments of these ancient civilizations are really extraordinary when you think about it.
