Hello Hartschier. I'm originally from Texas too. Do you mind if I ask when you were in the service? Thanks and I hope to hear back from you soon.

Here's a picture I took at the Chicago Toy Soldier Show of the San Pablo. If I'm not mistaken, the price tag on it was $3,000. While that seems high (if it is correct), it was without question the finest made item at the entire event.

I'm equally excited to hear about the release of the new WWI planes. Andy's WWI figure that he gave out at the dinner in Chicago, which was an amazing little figure, ignited an interest in WWI for me.

Thanks for posting Leadmen; they're very nice pics. One note if you do plan on visiting the U-505. You have to be sure to get there early enough to get the special ticket that allows you to see the interior of the submarine. If not, you'll only get to see the outside. I think you can also...

The enigma machine was removed from U-571, and I believe that the British can lay claim to that accomplishment. U-505 was captured by the U.S. though, in what was an orchestrated to attempt to successfully board and capture a German submarine. The website for the Museum of Science and Industry...

I little bit off topic, but if you're coming to Chicago, then you should really go see the U-505 German submarine at the Museum of Science and Industry. It's truly awesome and will give you some of the backstory on the submariners in the Kriegsmarine series.

I don't know if any of you have seen the paper toy soldiers made by Walkerloo, but I think the art work on them is really nice and they're very sturdy. As well, you can have a large collection at an affordable price. I don't have any kids of my own yet, but I think they're an option for me...

I really wish Andy would take a page from the past and create another glossy line. I know that I and others have asked for it before, but I think there's a pretty strong demand for it.

Thanks for the enthusiastic response to my post gentleman. I've ordered the DVD's and can’t wait for them to come so that I can better appreciate your comments. As I’m sure most of you know, we get several of the British comedies here in America on PBS, so though I never really understood...

Can anyone offer up a review of this classic BBC TV series? I've always thought the Home Guard to be very interesting, and am wondering if this humorous take on events is worth purchasing, as I've never seen it before. Thanks.

Speaking of Waffen SS, the new Waffen SS Tankers (specifically WS155, WS159 and WS160) came out really nice. They didn't look like much in the photos in what was the poorest received dispatch of the year so far, but in person, the detail on these figures is amazing. The black of their jackets...

Thanks again for the recommendation. Vallejo was the brand for the job, and Gun Metal Grey was the perfect color. I happy to report that my marching Roughrider has returned to the cabinet in perfect condition, and resting comfortably. :)

Thanks Gideon. I knew someone could help me with this question.

Very helpful advice. Thanks for taking the time to respond.

Question: Is there one Ebay site that you can go to that captures what's on each individual country's Ebay website, or do you need to go to each country individually?

Thank you Scarlet Pimpernel and Britfarmer. Couple more questions. 1) What size brush should I use, and 2) can you recommend a website to purchase these items from? Thanks again.

I have some missing paint on the rifle of KX006 (Marching Rough Rider) which is sold by KingsX (K&C). Can anyone recommend what kind of paint I should use to repair it? Thank you.

I definitely have to agree with the British cannon and crew. That's about the nicest (and most affordable) set I've seen from K&C, regardless of the range.

Thanks Ron. These are great choices. On more question. Part of my enjoyment of collecting WW2 figures is all the historical content (e.g., movies, documentaries, books) you can dive into. What short list of similar content can you recommend for Napoleonics?

I'm a WW2 collector too, but I'll bite on your thread, as I've always really admired the K&C Napoleonics. So let me ask you this, if I were to start a K&C Napoleonics collection (which I really want to do), what five pieces do you recommend I start my collection with?
