A bit o’ this… a bit o’ that! (1 Viewer)

[King & Country]

Hi guys,

Greetings from the “Pearl of the Orient”… Some interesting ideas and suggestions of late, here’s a few thoughts.

1. “Taxis de la Marne”
Actually Fred of “Toy Soldier Paris” and me talked about this a couple of years ago when we first released the marching “1914” French infantry. We also went over the French ’75… Now, it would be great to do both but what would you prefer to arrive first? I like them both!

2. Into the Sand Pit…
Congrats to my old mate “Tom NT”… this is what toy soldiers is really all about… Having fun… and sharing it with others… No agendas, no nastiness no “mine is better than yours”… just FUN!

3. Eastern Front
Soon, my friends, soon… Gordon just finished a great dio for the West Coaster and we’ve got all the new Soviet pieces to go on it… plus a wee surprise!
However as we’re coming into Spring and Summer… Winter as is natural will come later.

4. K&C Conversions
I love to see what K&C collectors can do with our vehicles and aircraft. As you know it’s impossible to please everyone so “Converters” do a great job in making what they and their friends want. However to describe the original paint scheme as “visual vomit” is a tad extreme… even for some of the “Internet Bravadoes” who prowl around cyberspace.

Best wishes, happy collecting and have FUN!

Andy,

in response to 2 of the comments above...

1. Artillery ALWAYS before vehicles, so I'd go for the 75mm French with 1914 crew.

4. Thanks for your kind response, and I'm one of the main 'culprits' doing the repaints of K&C vehicles, and I strive to match your standards, and the guys who get them, think I do

Good to hear from you again, and keep up the great work, and I AM having 'fun' ....

John

I would like it entered into the record that this was an example of incredible restraint on my part. I hated it from day 1...only snapped this past weekend.

But I really do like your recent work on greying down the Panzer Yellow. Keep going with it & I might even start collecting them & get into a new front

 

[ROUGH RIDER]

The 75mm first then the taxi with more infantry. I'm happy for all the Eastern Front collectors to get there Russians.

 

[MapleLeaf]

That would be great , 1914 french artillery
Really like the early french
Keep them comming KC

Looking forward to having fun w/ the forthcoming Eastern Front items! Will Gordon be accompanying his new Eastern Front dio at the Westcoaster? See you there and thanks for the post. Best, Joe

I couldn't agree more. The best part of the forum is sharing our collections with like minded collectors who appreciate and enjoy the things I like. Being negative and putting things down is not enjoyable to me. I see this forum as a way to add to my enjoyment, not take away from it! {eek3} I've often found myself backing away from certain posts, members, and sections because of all the negativity. I ventured to the forum in my homeland to see what all the fuss was about...........not my idea of adding enjoyment to a hobby I greatly enjoy. To each their own I guess but being negative and spewing venom around is a waste of my time and my energies are best put elsewhere.
