Hi Brad,
You answered this one very well…As far as K&C are concerned the cost of packaging goes into our overall ‘Promotional Budget’ along with ‘Advertising’ and ‘Overseas Sales Trips’ and some other items.
We do not include packaging costs in the actual retail price of any K&C item.
I also...
Hi Cameron,
Thanks for your question…Only certain fighting vehicles will be ‘All-Metal’ if and when the potential sales justify the additional production expense.
Other items will be ‘Mixed-Media’ as before.
Delighted you like the new Afrika Korps!
Best wishes,
Andy.
And that my friends is the story so far for March…
Meanwhile before I go let’s take a look at what is being retired this month…
BEING RETIRED THIS MONTH
LAH104 Reichsarbeitsführer Konstantin Hierl (Reich labour leader)
LAH230 RAD on Parade
LAH231 RAD Mrachpast
LAH232 RAD Banner Bearer
LAH233...
Although K&C also produces its own display items and buildings in this particular case it made sense for ‘Last Post’ to produce the structures and ‘free-us-up’ to concentrate on the figures and our own accessories.
And so here we are with our very first release of a small group of Roman citizens...
E. ‘On The Streets of Ancient Rome’
As I’ve said on multiple occasions some of K&C’s best and most popular series have come from meeting and talking with our dealers and collectors during many of my overseas tours and trips.
One such occasion happened back in July last year when I journeyed...
D. ‘THE CRUCIFIXION’
The Crucifixion of Jesus was the execution by crucifixion of Jesus of Nazareth in 1st Century Judea, most likely in AD30 or AD33. It is described in the four gospels of the New Testament and attested to by other independent sources.
According to the gospels, Jesus was...
C. ‘Hong Kong All Our Yesterdays’
Another nostalgic look back at the more recent past in Hong Kong’s vibrant street life of the 1960s and 1970s…
HKY014 ‘Young Girl w/Baby Brother and Puppy’
As Hong Kong rapidly grew and prospered it meant both Mothers and Fathers often had to work full-time...
B. Achtung Afrika Korps!”
Staying in Egypt but moving forward a few years to the early 1940s… 1942 to be exact, and the Deutsches Afrikakorps better known simply as the ‘Afrikakorps’ is pushing Britain’s 8th Army back across the Western Desert into the sands of Egypt and almost up to the...
AE106 ‘The Ancient Egyptian Temple’
Using various aspects of traditional Egyptian architecture and design elements K&C has produced this striking 3-dimensional temple façade cast in sturdy polystone (marble dust and resin) and beautifully painted.
As a backdrop it can of course, be utilized for...
KING & COUNTRY DISPATCHES
March 2024
Hi Guys,
Well, now that the Chinese New Year Festivities are over it’s time for all of us here in Hong Kong and in mainland China to get back to work and present you with our latest releases…
Actually, King & Country in Hong Kong only had a couple of days...
Well done Mark!
Not only does that Matt Road look familiar…I think I recognise the tank and those figures too…
All the best and look forward to seeing you in July in Brisbane.
Andy.
Hi Stacie,
speaking as one ‘inquiring mind’ to another I would have to say that the two sitting, relaxed ‘Grunts’ would much prefer to be much more comfortable in the VN170 Cargo Truck rather than perched precariously on the ‘MUTT’ with an M60 machine gun banging away right next to their...
Hi Guys,
In between putting together our third ‘VIETNAM’ full-colour brochure and our next ‘CATTLE DRIVE’ Leaflet I decided to have a little break and have a go at making a few little rock outcrops of the kind that can be seen all over the Falkland Islands.
One of the joys of the internet is...
Hi Guys,
Earlier this week one of our ‘Master Painters’ finished assembling and painting the ‘CHUCK WAGON’ for K&C’s ‘CATTLE DRIVE’ series. This is a project we have been working on for quite some time and which began back in early 2022 when due to the pandemic, I was living and working in...
