Hello, the Peninsula War series seems to have run out of steam and I would have loved some British infantry by JJD. From the Wellington in India range, the 74th Regiment saw action in the Peninsula after India. How accurate would the figures be in a Peninsula War display? Cheers.

Away from the official celebrations there was lots to see and do at re-enactment camps and just motorcycling along the beaches. Here are a few snaps.

Hello, having a clear out and decided I don’t have room for some older toy soldier magazines. The Toy Soldier & Model Figures magazines are roughly mid 2011-2019 (issues 147-243) and I also have Toy Soldier Collector issues 43-61 between 2013-2015. Condition is generally good to excellent...

Hello, I spend a bit of time motorbiking and walking around and it’s always a thrill to come across a piece of history. The cream-coloured house on the left had an interesting plaque and I was even more impressed when I happened upon the memorial a short time later. Hambone Jr. the 47th...

Apologies but I have worked out how to compress photos hence the flurry of activity….. No prize available but anyone know where these Sherman’s are which I’ve visited recently? Cheers. Simmo

Hello, the famous “Great Escape” prisoner of war camp is just outside Zagan in Poland. Most of the site is now woodland but there is an excellent museum and recreated hut, guard tower and even a small section of tunnel. The route that tunnel “Harry” took is commemorated. Well worth a visit...

Had to pop in for a drink having seen the sign outside. Had a pint…..not grapefruit juice!

Hello, I mentioned on a different thread that I was having a ride round northern Spain and Portugal on the bike. Sticking to the country roads - which are an absolute dream - and staying in hostals and having a great time on my Suzuki VStrom DL1000. Anyone else collect toy soldiers and ride a...

Hello, anyone (preferably UK) got a Peninsula War windmill they’d like to sell or trade for other JJD? I have quite a mixed bag so there may be something you’d be interested in. Cheers. Simmo.

Is there a demand for older series to be revisited? Just the odd figure here and there? K&C KGL are great figures and would love to see one or two more - another skirmisher or two, standing ready or biting a cartridge - in the same style as the originals. The new stuff is fantastic but it...

Hello, anyone UK or EU (postage expensive otherwise) got these sets they’d like to sell or trade? Please PM. Cheers.

Stopped off for a pint yesterday in a nondescript pub in a small village on Somerset, the Knatchbull Arms..... The Knatchbull played host to the largest single gathering of American Generals away from American soil. Shrouded in some secrecy, Joseph Stillwell, Omar Bradley, Henry 'Hap' Arnold...

Hi, looking for a windmill preferably in the UK or Europe as shipping/tax from the US is a killer. Cash or trade - I have quite a mixed bag of JJD and K&C so may have something you’re after. Thanks.

I have a JJD limber with the arms slightly bent. Any special tips for bending them back or is it just a case of slowly and gently? Thanks.

First of all thanks to Andy and all the team at K&C for all their hard work putting out great releases every month. I don't collect all of the ranges but I still enjoy looking at them and appreciate the effort that goes into each and every one. Anyway, whilst creating my own "mini Hougoumont"...
