K&C SOHK / Imperial collection / China Marines corner (2 Viewers)

[jules118]

Following a suggestion from Brett and crediting Ron with his Naps corner, here's a thread dedicated to the real (he)art of King & Country. The exotic East, from the sub-continent to Imperial China.

So, let them count rivets on Tiger tanks or carp about whether their platoons should be saluting or getting slaughtered in a lonely corner of the 'pool room.'

This is to share our thoughts and pix using the figures from the Silk Road, Streets of Old Hong Kong, Imperial Collection, Sons of Empire and of course the China marines / USN.

And to start off, some of my pix using SOHK, plus some sailors, Delprado French army and Britains Delhi Durbar figures for my port in French Indochina

Jules,

Brilliant idea ! With credit to the Napoleonic Corner started by Ron.

I think you need to warm up the crowd with some images to get them going.

I found an old flyer the other day showing the Imperial series from 10 years ago (ie with the different coloured Regiments). Does anybody have a good display of those they would like to share ?

Regards
Brett

Heys - thanks for the credit !

I believe it is fun to have a single thread for those collectors to go to and show their collections. I will check this these posts out everytime when I logo on !

Indeed he did, think this was just before he found himself in a rather compromising situation with a couple of nubile young masseuses in one of the many houses of ill repute situated near the wharf.

My wife actually collects the matt SOHK range amongst other Oriental items.

To start with a special set of “Gift Givers” made for the K&C UK Collectors Club members some years ago.

Here are a few photos of my collection - some have been shown in previous threads - I certainly need to take some new ones.

Hello Mike,
Excellent mix with the background, the third photo from the bottom has almost a perfect composition.
Good job.
Rod.

You have a wonderful looking collection Lawrence. I wish I had started my collection when the Silk Road Gateway was still available - fabulous piece that makes a terrific backdrop for your figures.

Mike,
Thanks for the kind words. I, unfortunately, do not have your talent for creating such vivid scenes with the camera. The Gateway is a wonderful and versatile piece. I was fortunate enough to find the Gateway and purchase them at a reasonable price. The interesting part about the Gateway is that it came in two pieces with the top building detachable. So, by removing the top piece, the Gateway could be used as a backdrop for various different lines made by K&C such as the Roman/Crusades/WW1/WW2and LAH.
Please keep posting as I always enjoy viewing your wonderful collection (which seems to be growing all the time)
All the best,
Lawrence
