    Ceremonial Brochure

    Gary mate, These figures are the absolute best. Collecting them and adding more each month takes me back 65 years to when I was eight years old and had a great collection of British Ceremonial figures both marching and mounted. Cannot remember what brand they were but I loved them...

    King & Country Brochures

    Andy mate, Just reviewed the new K&C Ceremonials brochure on your website. Outstanding cobber and keen to get a hard copy. Also received the Vietnam II brochure from my Dealer in the mail. Another great brochure which not only displays the magnificent range of K&C products but...

    As a follow up to reading Aussie Armour In Vietnam I thought I would read Marine Corps Tank Battles In Vietnam by Oscar Gilbert. Whilst having a great respect for the USMC I found by the end of the book I had a huge lost of faith in the High Command of the USMC during this War. The huge...

    KING & COUNTRY Dispatches -- May 2021

    Andy mate, Great to see the Black Watch Pipes and Drums finally released. Have taken your advice and added two more Pipers and another Drummer to increase the size of the Band. These three were also promoted in the ranks to Corporals. Also the Vietnam Aussie Mortar Teams and Add-On...

    VietnamⅡ

    Steve mate, Great post cobber, and Yes I have a list a mile long of Aussie, U.S. and NVA vehicles I would like to see. For 10 years my favourite range of K&C was the Lighthorse and my collection exceeds over 200 sets. Then came the VN range and my collecting stepped up a gear with...

    Snow Tiger on the move

    Mark mate, Outstanding cobber. Of all the Tigers that K&C have produced over the years, this was always my favourite model. Great set up showing this Tiger at its best. Cheers Howard

    Damian mate, I did some serious reading about the Oliphant since you posted this and like always enjoy reading what various countries have done with the Mighty Centurion. It would seem, like in the Golan Heights, that the South African Centurions (Oliphants) creamed the Angolian...

    New Vietnam Fire Support Base

    Just thought I would share with you the first photos of two new 5' x 3' Dio being built for me by my good mate Damian (Treefrogger: Parksie) These are early photos and the base are ready for transport to my TS Room. Nothing has been added at this stage (105 guns, 81mm mortars and 106RCLs...

    Look at Life. East of Suez (Malaysia) and Soldier Abroad ( Centurions in Germany)

    Steve mate, Nothing better than starting the day with a nice cuppa tea and watching a great doco on the Mighty Centurion Tank. Thanks for posting. Cheers Howard:salute::

    Just finished re-reading both Volumes of Aussie Armour In Vietnam. 500 pages each Volume. The so-called experts said that the Mighty Centurion would not succeed in NAM. {sm4} Ask the Infantry who had many lives saved by Canister rounds clearing the Jungle and Bunker busting track turns.

    KING & COUNTRY Dispatches -- March 2021

    Just returned from a weeks R&R on Norfolk Island, an old British Penal Colony, to find myself in a quandary like young Zach on how many of this new IDF Centurion to purchase. I think a Troop of three might do the job. Cheers Howard

    Valor in Action

    Mike mate, That is an outstanding set of photos. When I first looked I assumed that they were the real deal taken somewhere in NAM. Full credit to your Dio work of base and backdrop to create in conjunction with some great K&C figures the perfect setting for these fantastic photos...

    Prisoners & Escort

    Andy mate, An outstanding set of the three new figures which not only can be used in the new GS Land Rover but anywhere on any Dio. The GS Land Rover will be great addition to this already fantastic series. The red Tac Sign on the Land Rover with the number 55 is an indication...

    Aaarrrr The Pipes

    Toddy mate, Great clips cobber. I have fingers and toes crossed that K&C will release the Black Watch (13 piece) Highland Pipes and Drums Band (CE028) this coming Monday in the February Dispatches. I have ordered an extra two (CE061) Pipers and one extra (CE062) Drummer to...

    Yes they probably know where they are, in all likelihood they put them there !

    Steve mate, Nice one cobber. Some data: From July 1969 to May 1970, 39 per cent of all Australian Task Forces casualties were due to mines and 55 per cent of all mines discovered were M16 mines. Most of these mines were removed from the Australian laid "Barrier Minefield" which...

    Back At The Depot

    Andy mate, Outstanding cobber. The Flag and Pole with the Oil Drums and sand bags brought a tear to the eye. I had already ordered three MP Land Rovers from my Dealer but seeing them altogether like that has started me to wonder about more.^&grin My Dio plans called for two...

    Happy Birthday Steve/Horus

    Steve mate, Have a great Birthday cobber. Your NAM displays have been a great inspiration to me. Keep up the great work and put that U.S. M113 to good use. Cheers from the Land Down Under, Howard
