    I've noticed that a large number of you have been following this foray into the era of the Samnite Wars. I thank you for that, and I take this opportunity to apologize for the fact that my comments were not in English. It was a mistake on my part... you must have gotten the translator working...

    The Samnites

    La deuxième guerre samnite (327-304 av. J.-C.) Origines du conflit La deuxième guerre samnite, beaucoup plus longue et intense que la première, trouve son origine dans les tensions croissantes entre Rome et les Samnites. Après la fin de la première guerre samnite, Rome étendit progressivement...

    Tiger Tunisia ''Limited serie''

    Thanks for the compliment! Yes, the old set is nicer thanks to these all beige outfits which offer a diversity of colors that we don't have on the new set... The essential scarf which covered the face to protect oneself from the sand is missing... Surprising that K&C did not think of this...

    Tiger Tunisia ''Limited serie''

    Here is the Tunisian Tiger equipped with its tank riders from the two references (3 pieces each) K&C... I was able to make a nice mix of the new and the old style which blends very well... This is the first time I'm presenting one of my pieces... a few figurines are missing, a sand base, an...

    Fur Traders

    a very interesting article... Met researchers therefore concluded that it was a bear... Why, I'm convinced it's a cat... see the ears of a bear cub and those of a cat and see the ears of the animal in the painting... One wonders how these researchers arrived at this conclusion.. and what's...

    Fur Traders

    there is no dog in the painting and on the diorama presented, it was added because JJD's piece did not include a dog... I'm convinced and it seems visually clear to me on the board... it's a cat. JJD's teddy bear seems to me to be an error or even a mistake if we refer to the table...

    What King & Country Tiger 1 would you like to see next?

    I am thinking of 007 which would pay homage to their emblematic tiger which had marked a turning point for K&C, in the use of new materials and manufacturing achieving an essential qualitative leap in their productions.

    News AK: Review

    After reading your different opinions on the question I raised, I obviously agree with your answers... But... Because there is a but, still... Reproducing previous pieces by changing a small detail, for example a helmet or a head turned in another direction, harms the unique character of the...

    Buford's Knoll, The Battle of Brandy Station, June 9, 1863

    Mike has a very good sense of staging... Your dioramas are always of high quality and very realistic... I remember the one about the buffalo hunt or ''fur trade''... great art! I too should present one day...

    News AK: Review

    I was a little surprised by the absence of remarks which seem obvious to me on the different AK sets since the new (remarkable) painting developed on this theme. I dare to hope that we can have a somewhat nuanced criticism which sets up a debate which is not one-sided... I felt a little...
