Wow, that was much easier then I imagined! You just can't beat modern technology!

Great post Brad. I don't own any of the original Arnhem series but I do own all of the Market Garden figures from a few years ago and am hugely proud of them. Loving the brochure not seen it before.
I think the new P figures look ok but I like the camo on the MG ones best! They have the K&C style I like.

James,

Glad to see you post. Both, great series.

Nice post Brad, Arnhem has always been one of my favorite series. I will try to post a few shots of the
Diorama Andy built for his release of Arnhem at the Chicago show so many years ago. I now use Apple products and fine it much more difficult to send photos to the forum.

John,

I was thinking about you when I thought about this thread because I know you have some great stuff. I also find Apple a pain for posting. When I post photos, I still prefer the Pc. You can always email me photos.

A beauty this layout, lots of interesting aspects, bridge & building, different levels. The figures can be displayed in various ways changing the look of the diorama. Very lucky to have secured this from Andy, bet he would like it back in his own display.{sm4}, Robin.

Andy was nice enough to send me a picture of him with the display at the show. I'm sure he's happy that so many of his early creations are in the hands of collectors such as Louis & Brad and all the other
great collectors I have met here on the Forum.

Great that you have bought these iconic figures up to the front. Nice collection, these are still wonderful figures despite the improvements made since there release all those years ago. Always regretted that I was not collecting this scale back than like you, dam Star Wars.^&cool, Robin.

Star War's ! !....really .....for the kids or you ?....TomB

Raymond:

Thanks for posting your splendid photo of your K&C Arnhem set# AN001. You have a great set to display in any number of ways. The K&C Certificate is a real nice added item for this 1995 issued K&C WW2 set of their first Matte type military miniatures.

Regards, Gary

Hi Raymond,

Did the dealer Timemachine exists then? Or did you acquire this directly from overseas?

Actually, the dollar and the pound was much stronger then, it must have been relatively expensive from that standpoint.

If you would like to buy 9 sets of Arnhem 44, check out Rodney's Dimestore site and at the same time apply for a second job{sm4}, Robin.

The good thing about these threads is that I've returned to looking at my Arnhem collection. I might not need any more! Or do you always need more?

 

[villagehorse]

Some oldies but goodies{sm4}, Robin.

The second job and the 3% rebate may not be enough. Perhaps, have to remortgage house. Lol.. He just picked up PM025 for more than US400 from Europe. So, I guess it is going to be US1000 or more when it gets listed on the Dimestore. Chris

Great photos there Robin! Really nice setups.

Sweet! Do you know I have about 10 or more arnhem sets, and not one certificate to go with any of the sets haha! Strange to think about!

Chris,

I got my K&C Arnhem 44 AN001 set (1st Production) on eBay from a seller in the USA a few years back. As for the Time Machine Studio, I am afraid I don't know when their K&C dealership started. I am glad that Mike and Daniel took over the K&C dealership.

There are at least two sets of AN001 on eBay now and both look like 2nd Production sets released circa 2001. If I am not wrong, the 2nd Edition sets were not issued with seals and certificates.

Raymond.

No certificates with the second series. They are really nice to have if you find an early first series set with one. If memory serves me correctly (which at my age is doubtful) only the first 10 sets had them.
AN11 was released by K&C UK it also had a small certificate and the release was extremely limited with only 60 pieces made world wide. This is according to one of my certificates.
