Hi Guys,

While looking out for a few pix for the HB Forum I came across some others that I thought you might like to see again.
Here on Treefrog there are many fine and talented modelers who make this hobby so much FUN and enjoyable for all.
Keep up the great work and all of us at K&C appreciate your creative talents ...

DIORAMAS FOREVER!

Hi Wayne,
The Bedford truck you circled was produced as a sample before we did the full production number...I have several in my own personal collection. As for the little white 'Touring Car'...It's actually a tinplate model I bought in Bangkok a few years back which K&C have utilised in the background of several dips.
Hope this helps...and thanks to the other guys for their appreciative comments.
Have a great weekend guys! Andy.

Thank you and have a good weekend to mate looking forward to Monday arvo cold beer and dispatches.
 
I still love my old Normandy Village Andy, not to mention the ones you made for Arnhem.

Growing up in the 50's and 60's we would display our toy soldiers on shelves in parade formations.
When we tried to make a "diorama" or "set up" as we called it, it was quite simplistic. We used pillows
for hills and mountains and painted shoe boxes for buildings.
This hobby has come a long way and now many collectors strive for realism using artistically made structures,
scenery and photo backgrounds.
K&C has been a standout when it comes to scenics and structures. Hats off also to WB especially for their ACW
and WWI range scenics.
Its a great time to be a TS collector!
 
I agree ! Utilizing K&C vehicles and figures in a diorama setting is what brings the fun aspect into the hobby.
My own method is to build the Diorama bases myself and use existing K&C buildings for the completed effect.
Here are a few examples from previous postings here on the forum.
