Directed at whole Western Front and given by Andy as reason for restarting Eastern Front theme.:)

Before I summarize Andy’s talk, I would like to thank Myszka and Mike Hall of Sierra Toy Soldier for organizing and hosting this event, and Andy for taking the time to answer questions. Andy started by saying King & Country was founded 29 years ago, and out of the three businesses he started...

The lifting block is simply glued to the middle. I used a sharp hobby knife to loosen it so it can slide on the track.:smile2:

I also saw the prototype mentioned by Louis and noticed that it did not have side fenders and had the turret storage bins on the sides of the turret. It did have the Feifel air cleaner system.:smile2:

One of the special things about Erica Osen's Opa's Limber team was they had gotten white circus horses as seen in the newpaper clipping provided by Erica. None of the other units wanted these horses, afraid they stood out too much on the battlefield. Ken Osen mentioned the unit was proud...

Figarti asked Ken Osen to introduce the horse drawn limber and supply wagon because of a unique family connection with his wife Erica. Ken told the story of how Erica's grandfather served in the German Army on the Eastern Front and was part of a horse drawn artillery unit. While recovering...

Dear Larry, When he was asked about what sets were going to be retired, Andy answered, "All the American Revolutionary War Blue Figures." At the time, I assumed he meant all the figures in this theme wearing blue uniforms, which would make them the American figures.:smile2:

The cannon is the Winter 10.5 cm leFh 18/40 with # ETG-072 and was available at the Show for $229 with three crew figures.:smile2:

Don't worry Mark, Lawrence was not at Chicago and I would not talk about you anyway.:smile2: When collectors talk about getting rare sets at a "bargain" when they only have to spend a few hundred dollars on eBay, I like to tell them about the 50% discount cabinet at the old K&C store on Wyndham...

I have seen resin kits where groups of firing tubes are cast together to save on assembly and cost, but Figarti assembled all the individual tubes which made this piece $279.{eek3} The fine detail is what you expect from Figarti.:smile2:

The new Tiger's box says there are only 98 of these Tigers made.{eek3} All 12 at the Show were sold or spoken for. The Horse Drawn Limber and Supply wagon sets, which also had 98 made on the box, were all gone before Sunday.:smile2:

Dear Gary, It was great seeing you and thanks for not calling me Rick. All during the show, I have strangers come up to me to offer suggestions on future vehicles they would like to see and to ask how my "father" was doing. The P-38 is resin with metal or photo etched detail parts, not...

The Ostfront BF 110 is only $329!!!{eek3}

I'm not sure and will check tomorrow. I remember seeing two different types of Roman buildings with columns and some Roman civilian sets.:smile2:

The California Cutie is a prototype and not yet in production. I was told Figarti is working on the Bong P-38's right now and that the California Cutie would be closer to the end of the year.:smile2:

Dear Michael, Ken & Erica Osen of Hudson & Allen ... Louis bought the right half with the mill and I bought the left half and the Pacific Island base under the Bong P-38.:smile2:

Actually, each Bong P-38 comes with a pair of cloth gloves and instructions to wear them before removing the plane from the box. Figarti checked and its fits Clive's hand but I am not sure about Matt's.^&grin

Before I summarize Andy's talk, I want to thank Peter and Shannon Reuss of Treefrog Treasures, Mike and Myszka Hall of Sierra Toy Soldier Company, and Tim Tyler of Troops of Time for the wonderful dinner. Andy started by thanking the hosts for organizing the 7th annual dinner and recognizing...

Figarti showed prototypes of the next additions to their Bloody Tarawa series: 5 Marine sets and 5 Japanese sets.:smile2:
