“The Kraut position is abandoned, over.”

Hi there! Thank you so much for the kind comments. The trunks were sculpted from DAS air clay and the foliage is Hudson and Allen green shrubbery.

Thanks so much, Ken! I’ll attempt at removing the figures from their bases as time permits this winter. I’ll touch base with shortly on that Sherman reference guide you mentioned to me in Chicago. Best, Jake

Hey all! Finally finished my Little Round Top pedestal base. Although I’m mainly a WW2 collector, who doesn’t love the 20th Maine!!!:D All that’s needed is to find a few more figures to complete the scene. I may detach them from the base and permanently attach them to the pedestal. A big...

Great stuff! Thanks for sharing! I already ordered another truck to make a new one based off your fantastic pieces!

Still one of my favorite sets done by K&C…

Thought I’d post a few pics of a WWI lorry I’ve been working on. The original vehicle was a 1/30 scale ERTL piggy bank. Some chopping, sanding, and a few bits of balsa and styrene and the lorry is now ready to move some weary mud crunchers to the front.

Hi Guys! Thought I'd post some photos of a 1/30 remote controlled Sherman I've been working on the past year as a way to teach myself the basics of painting/detailing AFV and for complimenting some K&C GI tankers in my collection. I still have a few more details to add but I'm pretty pleased...

I was in elementary school on 9/11...a decade later I was in Afghanistan...the first time. -Jake

Thanks, Louis! Means a lot from the guy who has one of the coolest TS collections around! :salute: Mark, cheers and many thanks for your kind words.

To children ardent for some desperate glory, The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est Pro patria mori. - Wilfred Owen, Duce et Decorum Est Hi Guys! Thought I'd share below some pictures of my latest diorama featuring a 12x18" scenic board I built for my growing Great War collection paired with one...

Hi Mark! The grass base is painted teddy bear fur and the hedgerow was made from wedding bouquet filler. Best, Jake
