Pricing is now out of control by all the major toy soldier manufacturers and, I am amazed that everyone especially some UK collectors put up with it and put it down to acceptable good service from UK companies. Try looking at it from what they are made for and sold to dealers and, then see if...

Try Mitch he does some really good stuff and is very reasonable. He has done some stuff for me and, did an article in a toy soldier nmag

Lovely work, bold move to strip the model down must have took some courage I don't think I have that much. Always better grey Great stuff Mitch

I thought they were a great Idea and, bought some retired Fallschirmjagers just to get them. Does anybody have any idea how many were passed out as they were only around for a month?

I was talking with a friend today who had a fire in his house not to big but, enough to make a mess. we got talking about his toy soldier collection and what he had thought of doing had it got out of control and, he said that he would have grabbed his tigers first and foremost and then tried to...

The Higgins look better than what has been released to date but, its about room as I have a feeling there are going to be quite a few more craft released of varying sizes. Having the original sets of on the beaches etc from the D-Day range I hope these come out as I want one with those troops...

I like the new Arnhem stuff but, still prefer my early sets I just think they cannot be beaten. Its interesting looking at the new sets and seeing where the company is going in terms of new moulds based on the old ones so, I am hopeful that we will be seeing some of the ranking personality...

The cossacks are some of the best sculpts for a long while and, I love cavalry units so, I am hoping that we see some Florian Geyer to join them on the Eastern front.

As a former officer I was fine in the field and in combat with my troops verbally calling me sir and not physically saluting especially, for the reasons you correctly identify.

Maultier is great and, will buy a couple as I am in the process of doing a D-Day diorama and, want AA guns on the top of the cliffs I am doing and will get a mate of mine to sort out the rear of the truck to turn it into a flat back truck for strorage etc. This depends on UK price as usually...

Andy, Fully aware of the reasons why you produce marching, presenting etc as a business for collectors to buy multiples which, I have no problem with and, have a huge collection of your true LAH figures both in summer dress and winter. My point was also not about that saluting etc does not...

Just got the link from Yan and, watched it. I think it was good promotion for King and Country but, agree with Forlonhoper that it was a bit uninteresting from a collectors point as what did it do to assist with my collecting?? nothing. Now if he had said on the CNN interview Panzeraces I am...

I think with this anniversary we will be getting the spitfire and hopefully an ME109 for August

Re: “Same old… Same old” With this debate mirroing the one last despatches and Andy being on here I would like to know and, can agree with the 'same old same old' to an extent. Why not more field poses and, less marching at attention and, saluting. Having been in the field myself it just does...

I am not a quasi-expert historian but, having read this blog for years without joining in I did so to not only join in but, to get my point over that collecting was meant to be fun and, whatever way that you do it is not wrong or right. My own collection of memorabilia is no better or worse...

Stefano, Nice picture. I think FOV are excellent quality and, a really good price. I know a lot of people who use them in conjunction with K&C figures and, although some will state they are not accurate in scale I think if a collector is happy to use them then that is fine. There is no doubt...

I am interested in what people think about the Pacific. I like the series, but, think its not as good as BOB though I personally like this theatre of operations. My second point is whether anyone knows or thinks K&C may release new IJ troops as with all the interset in this it seems a wise...

Good idea and would like to see this type of regular battlefield conference. I would also like to see the Wittman crew shot replicated where the newly decorated crew posed with their whitewashed Tiger 1. Would give collectors great diorama ideas.

I like the personality stuff and, its hard to replicate people well in miniature but, for me, its a good resemblance. I had one friend say that Nigger looked more realistic. So much for opinions I like the figure very much so, I may just want it to look like him. Its still worth having

Missed your last question. Early to mid jan have no exact dates as conversations with My wife's grandfather before his death were not exact on dates. I have just recently started going through some of this battles stuff and, hopefully will be able to find out the regiment etc of the vehicle as...
