Battle for Arnhem.... (4 Viewers)

And as a great many older eye witness books state, the Battle of Arnhem is a subject rather open to unique interpretation all of its own, I find the Arnhem example on here is noexception. Tho be it though toy soldier figures or Text and Photos.
 
This is my favorite thread on the forum, because I love Kevin's photography and historical account of this critical battle. Could we please focus on depicting the history on this thread, and discuss the historical accuracy (or lack thereof) of various manufacturer's products on the threads in those manufacturer's forums? I am happy to rivet count on a thread started for that purpose, but this one quite clearly is not. Thank you.

Well said Louis.
 
It is difficult to express anything on here other than background , because always someone tries to say your nit picking....too bad.
Maxime Chevallier, you were recently banned under your previous forum name 'The Major', if you continue to be a pest I am sure the forum owner will ban you again if you do not comply with the forum rules.
 
I do not really endorse or support K and C figures as a collector . I find the quality of the Sculpting, especially the faces, rather "bland" and un realistic, the figures are larger than 1/32 Scale and rather "chunky"...and a lot of thin black painted "lines" reminiscent of Mid Seventies techniques, are used to try to define better the webbing details etc....

There are a great many Modern type "books" in the Hobby Industry, filled not with text but with colour photos.... described as "Beautiful" but i disagree with this.

Taking a lot of colour photogrpahs of something in my pown personal opinion I find mediocre quality, does not make it a high quality item, or especially an Artistic standard or acolade achievement in terms of Artistic Quality, definition of Detail, facial expressions, posture etc, (all levels of work previously achieved in our Industry but which now appear to be taking a backward hike), especially in view of some of the very high sided prices K and C Items go for on E Bay and at Shows...

Sorry....its just not "up there" with true industry greats like Sid Horton, or D F Grieve to mention only a few....
Proof if anything, that bungng laods of cash into something, doe snot make it a success from an Aesthetic, Artistic and Object value point of view.
Sorry if this viewpoint is not the cup of Tea of some other Modellers, it is not my intention to offend, but I feel it is important to make a difference between the quality of the items in the photos and other rather better and well made products.
Why?

'Too bad' you say..........to date members have engaged with you respectfully, which is in total contrast to your diatribe of dribble and waffle, clearly designed specifically to hijack a topic of interest to many on here.

Unless you wish to participate as a mature human adult and carry on with the theme of the thread.........kindly sod off and go play in your own troll AI sandpit with all your other 'special' friends.......

Cheers.

......its probably a bot or some bored snot-nose, spotty limp-dick with nothing better to do on a Monday night other than annoy and pretend they actually know what they are talking about.........members should be aware there is a whole community of bored idiots out there who wet themselves over such things.

Given the massive number of so-called 'guests' & visitors logging in to TF these days I'm not surprised the site attracts the odd clown.

More like a failed French entrepreneur with delusions of grandeur, a sad luddite that has difficulty accepting reality.
