Great scene Ludwig! I'm impressed

I personally think that paint scheme would look awesome on the Dora.

You're very welcome, Rob. I actually have more passion for history than I do for toy soldiers. Discussing history with customers is one of my favorite things in this job. We have an abundance of tourists that visit San Antonio to come see the Alamo, and many of these tourists end up in the...

The Wilderness is an interesting place because you have the 2 roads (now modern but still the same roads from back in 1864) with one cross road connecting them, and the rest of the terrain is scraggly brush that you really can't maneuver through. Interesting history, one of the roads for that...

Hey Rob, I saw the post about your wife's accident a couple weeks ago, I just wanted to say that I'm glad that she is okay and I can only say that God is great. Normandy, Gettysburg, and Antietam are all beautiful places that I have been privileged to visit over the years. My father was in the...

Great diorama Ludwig! And with regards to the history... Maybe this could be a retreat back into the fort following the almost successful break out attempt on the 15th? Or it could be the men marching out to surrender the following day on the 16th? Just some ideas. Only about 2,000 of the...

Man, I'm off for a few days and I miss great dioramas like this one! Very well done. The one we have here at the store is much smaller and as a result a little crowded.

It's always nice to see young collectors. I myself am 23, but young collectors are definitely outnumbered.

Also, just looking at our store displays, the Carro Armato tanks, both AK version and Aussie version, seem to have issues with the barrel drooping slightly. (In case anyone is curious, Treefrog has both of these versions in stock)

We are looking forward to it! I saw the post that Andy said he was doing US paras (I want to say 101st?) Andy hasn't told us anything about it so we are waiting alongside all of you

Great use of K&C figures! The only criticism I have is that you should turn the sand bag for the AL033 "up and over" around.

There were also a significant number of Americans that were part of Operation Market Garden. We have lots of requests for fighting Americans for WW2 and we have very little to offer here at the store.

We have had some issues, particularly with the Sherman Firefly tanks, but for the most part K&C vehicles are very good. The new Russian T-34s have a different system than the older vehicles (at least it seems this way) and the new system appears to not have this problem at all. As far as the...

My aha! moment was when I got a phone call as I was getting ready to graduate high school that was from a lady at my church who wanted to know if I wanted a job for a weekend to help her store with a show. I had no idea that toy soldiers existed, but I gladly said yes and was amazed when I...

I have been making my dioramas in pairs because I can work on one while the other one has to dry. Perhaps working on three will be even more efficient but I haven't tried that yet.

I would love more K&C Russian stuff.

A very impressive Afrika Korps collection!

Thank you everyone for your compliments on my collection, I have been collecting since May of 2007 when I started working here at Kings X (I actually started the day after my High School Graduation). I really feel that my passion for history has made a positive impact on the store here for the...

Ludwig you have really done a nice job with this diorama. I am very impressed by your talent.

Bayern, What a GREAT display scene that pop-up book made! It is a perfect way to show off those great KX collector's club figures. Thanks for posting these pictures, and you have awesome grandchildren for putting that together for you as a surprise.
