Carlos,
Excellent pictures and very nice scenery especially the BoB dio.
The German taking the shoes from a dead US soldier, is this a new set ? ( does the road sign come with the set ?)
Famous picts about this event exist and this happened in Losheimergraben/Belgium, 0,5 km away from Bullingen railway station, but then the road sign is wrong ( Malmedy/Sankt-Vith are almost 30km away)

Thanks guys. I love doing this and sharing it. I don't know the costs for these items nor if the sign will be available for purchase.

I think these pics are great and, have to say that the german taking the footwear from the dead yank a great set. It happened on all sides and, think this is one innovative idea for a figure set.

Good that these more in depth pics are now starting to filter through. It was the best pic of the 262 I have seen so, thanks for posting. Can also see the Tiger 1 and the colouration as some pics I have seen you could not tell the base colour was white.

A great big thank you to desk11desk12 for those photos. They are the best ones yet as they are very clear closeups of the products. From this new batch of photos I found myself getting really excited about these upcoming releases! Those BBG pieces look really well done. In particular I'm intrigued by the "boot stealer". As I generally prefer figures I find this set a fresh idea, one not done to my recollection. It really conveys strong emotions in me. Its one thing to collect dead/wounded figures but this piece takes it to another level. I don't think since the Crusader piece showing a Saracen holding the severed head of a Crusader have I had such an emotional reaction. One thing about collecting toy soldiers is we see a very sanitized version of what they depict....war, which is brutal, horrific and ugly. In a very subtle way this piece draws attention to the disgusting, degrading happenings. I've seen pictures of something like this from the BOB and it was a common occurance. I'll likely pick this piece up. Well done K&C!

P.S. The new recon vehicle looks excellent too!

It would appear that the Me-262 that KC has made, White 3, is Adolf Galland's while with JV-44, in April '45. While relatively plain and unadorned, it is a important and historic choice. -- Al

It would have to really have been for Galland can't really think of anyone more important to the Luftwaffe. Did just notice in this pic its a fighter bomber!!!!
