I knew you would be one happy camper mate, glad you got some WW1 at last.

The only must have for me is this little beauty!

Interesting point. K&C have basically bult their company on marching Germans. The Landsers are conspicuous in their absence. But, you have to love the ME Brits and Arabs. And I agree that the P-51 steals the show. The bird that cleared the way for the big boys to pummel the Reich. Hey did someone mention anything about a roof?

Sales are going to drop no Germans..............^&grin
And retiring this what are they thinking.........{eek3}

Not quite the same without Rob on parade. Is anyone sending out a search party, this really is just not good enough that he has not turned up for muster. He better have a good excuse otherwise disciplinarian action will need to occur, {sm4}cheers, Robin.
 
Mainly good news regarding the 8th Btn LF figures for the rivet counters amongst us.

I've spoken to my chum, the uniforms curator at IWM London, and he has said and I quote 'the 8th LF (42nd Div) did wear 1903 equipment as seen in the pictures and in this order. If I'm going to offer just the smallest criticism then the blankets seen on the mens backs ought to be more of a khaki shade and less grey, and that the tying tapes on puttess should match the base colour of the puttee fabric. It looks good'

High praise indeed with perhaps little amendments needed but overall well done K&C.
 
forgot these two. one home guard major and, a marching Tommy back from Dunkirk or similar. A really good dispatches all round!!

Yes, well, done indeed, particularly the African American flyers. I know they're only toy soldiers but I think it's great to see. Hats off to Andy for that. Also a tip of the cap for no Germans.

However, it's apparent to me he's finally lost his mind. Retiring the Egyptian dancing girls? ^&grin Man, collecting will never be the same.
 
Thanks Mitch, another 2 for me, can I be greedy and ask for Fraser & Godfrey to complete the set. Cheers, Robin.

With all the trouble those girls have caused, maybe just as well, cheers, Robin.
