A few new items arrived at the house today 
Besides more MK Crusader sets, I also got a Department 56 "Town Well & Palm Trees" #59793 - I must say I am very very impressed on how well this D56 set goes with the K&C Crusaders I have seen the same well and palm trees used in some of the K&C desert dioramas on their web site. For you AK/8th Army collectors I think these would work just as well in your scenes
This set went with D56 Bethlehem Village series and has long been retired. If you can find them they sell for $55 and up. I was lucky and got this one in mint unused condition Set includes 1 well, 1 single date palm, 1 double clump palm, and 1 triple clump palm. The well, palm bases, and palm trunks are made of resin. The palm folliage is made of a stiff "nylon" like fabric that can be bent to shape. Depending on the palm and how I have shaped the fronds, they stand approx 7" to 9" tall.
Anyway here are a few pics to show you what they look like and their scale next to my K&C figures. One of the pics shows the K&C well with the Dept 56 well both are very close to scale in my opinion.
