Hi Guys,
My Aussie friend Obee does not seem to like our “Mad Jock” MacTavish just released as one of the new club figures… Well that’s his God given right not to like something (or anything come to that)… I can respect that.
BUT it’s my God-given right to design… sculpt… cast… and paint anything (or something) I like or think some others might like also. I certainly never consider that a “waste” of my time. K&C designs, sculpts, casts and paints literally hundreds of wide ranging figures every year. They cover a huge variety of different historical eras ranging from the mostly very serious to very, very occasionally subjects that could be regarded as romantic (our recent WW1 parting couple)… a wee bit racy (our topless Egyptian dancing girls)… politically incorrect (the entire LAH Berlin ’38 series)… the whimsical (our K&C Christmas sets) and now Lt. Col. “Mad Jock” MacTavish.
More Napoleonics is perhaps what he needs (and indeed more are in the works) but this fabulous, fantastic hobby of ours covers a wide ranging spectrum of likes… needs… wants… and must haves. And K&C attempts, reasonably successfully I hope, to reach out to many of these collectors all over the globe.
I also like to have fun with toy soldiers now and then and so, once in a blue moon, I’ll invent a [B]“Jumping Jack” Flashman or in this case a “Mad Jock” MacTavish.[/B] Maybe next time I’ll come up with Capitaine Jacques Clouseau, the famous Napoleonic nude wrestling underwater champion and inventor of the diving bell…
Au revoir… a bientot… et bon chance!
Andy C.
P.S. K&C’s Christmas Sets are also a big, big seller… fantasy or not… I still believe in Sanity Clause. Sacre Bleu!
