Definitely Kevin - it would be great to attempt something like that again. Any ideas for the next one?

It would really depend on who was interested and what they could bring to the party. Would Clive be prepared to host again? If not (and who would blame him!) we would need to find somewhere with a view to blend in like before, for example.

James you are right, I would love to do it again, maybe this summer? Before I kark it hopefully!

I have posted these before on the diodrama Arnhem thread, but probably lots of members haven't seen them, if you have seen these before, sorry

K&C Confederate troops on a misty morning

These shots are some of my favorites, the morning mist off of my neighbors' pond made the diorama look almost real.^&cool^&cool^&cool^&cool^&cool

Early glossy highlander on papier mache fort building by Gordon - from Louis' collection.

Ultra rare wooden K&C Tiger, shot amongst K&C papier mache buildings made by Gordon, in a backyard 'town', all from Louis' collection.

K&C Afrika Korps armour on desert set up in Louis Badolato's back yard (three different 'bases' by Gordon)




The late (and sadly missed) Chuck Karen's superb K&C RAF Mustang, I believe of a Polish Ace



K&C Hummel on scratchbuilt base



Early K&C Glossies on K&C papier mache and wood Fort built by Gordon

These photos are of some of the late Lawrence Lo's collection. In their day the figures, with wooden APC's, were top class and still look great IMO, but the new Vietnam figures and APC's are obviously much improved.

They are photographed on bases and against papier mache buildings made by Gordon Neilson.

I had to bring this thread back up again, to ask Kevin (Panda1gen) to post some more of his fantastic photos!:salute::

Don't think I have shown this before - beautiful K&C mahogany Whirlwind (and Swordfish) in RAF scene set up in Louis' back yard.

 

[Louis Badolato]

Great photo, Kevin, that brings back great memories! :salute:: And behind the Westin Whirlwind is a resin prototype of the Austin Tilly in RAF markings. Andy let the late great Larry Lo, Hans Hedrich, and I each purchase one of the prototypes (I think Larry's was the desert version, and Hans got "Mickey Mouse" camouflage) for sponsoring the New York Symposium one year.
