K&C at the Chicago show... (1 Viewer)

Just a quick comment. I was able to visit the King & Country room several times yesterday (Thurs). I was able to speak with Gordon, Andy and Helen. Besides the great models I just thought that I'd pass on that all three of these folks really came across as enjoying their work. In three seperate conversations I was impressed by the sense that each person likes doing what they do and that each really wants happy customers. I gve Andy a hard time about "rivet counting" especially on my US stuff but we had a nice chat about the artistic element in K&C. One has to appreciate that Andy is a good business person with a definite plan, but also that he's just a big kid at heart. I love it when I suggest some vehicle or cannon and Andy just grins and says "you never know..." Gordon is a fine artist in his own right. Andy plans in 2D and Gordon translates the scenes into 3D. His attention to detail is amazing.

I'm really looking forward to tonight. More later.

Good to hear Gary. Any chance of asking him if the elusive Chinese pirates for the USN and SOHK series are any closer to fruition ... and if there is anything in the pipeline for the SOHK series.

cheers
