In anticipation of future releases of this fine series, a reminder of what's available now. Robin.

Some more possible scenes. Robin.

Some more possible scenes. Robin.

It is a pity that so much vegetation has ben attached to the tracks of this vehicle so now it only looks good when on the open tundra, not on rocky ground, sandy beaches or roads.

Maybe clean tracks would be better, then you add your own terrain ????

Just a thought, but love your displays,

John

Totally agree John ruins the vehicle IMO, but agree another great set up Robin.

Fixing the track issue. Robin.

Perhaps it would of been better if K&C had held of releasing until now, when as Andy tells us future tank releases will all have the new metal tracks such as the new Tiger. It is what it us though and at least the Scorpion got made.

Hi Steve,
Alas it would not have been cost-effective to produce a smaller vehicle with relatively limited appeal such as The Scorpion in diecast metal…Mixed-media is still the most reasonable approach for both you and us.

Going forward K&C’s diecast metal vehicles will be for the larger land vehicles that have broad mass popularity.
Hope this helps explain our reasoning…
All the best,
Andy.

Thanks for explaining Andy, always interesting to hear what goes on in the design and manufacture of the vehicles before they reach our collections.

Thanks Andy. I appreciate your approach to vehicles. Too much metal and too much interior detail usually puts vehicles out of our price range.

We got a lovely Tiger tank by you in 2000 or 2001 for $79 and it wasn't even a sale - just a slight discount. Now that's toy-Soldiering!

Your prices now are still barely in our range. I think you have struck the perfect balance of cost/detail with vehicles. Love the Scorpion, btw.

Best wishes and please keep up your style & quality of vehicle.

Ha ^&grin Very good Robin. I expect it was on hearing the dulcet tones of a Welsh accent that attracted them !{sm4}

Awesome setup and pics, villagehorse! I really like the K&C Falklands range and the Scorpion as well. In a world where most manufacturers make similar themes and subjects (e.g. Romans, Napoleonics, WWII, etc.) K&C’s Falklands range is a very unique collection

 

[Grey Heron]

A lovely scene Robin. Look forward to when you receive your latest K&C figures and create some unique scenes.

Cheers,
Grey

Hi Robin,
Congratulations on another fine display of British Forces making their way across the cold, windswept landscape of East Falkland….I really like the simplicity and creativity of just a few figures,,,an armoured vehicle…and the open country.
Well done mate!
Andy.

P.S. On one of your previous ‘Falklands’ posts you showed a repainted landing craft…A really great and inventive touch.
