I normally don't have much nice to say about Britains, but that Lancer looks truly outstanding. The 232 and the Sturmtiger both looked very comparable to K&C's present polystone production, which is top notch for wheeled vehicles like the 232, but needs to step up to the level of quality of Figarti and Honour Bound with regard to tracked vehicles. Couldn't get a good enough feel from the photos for the figures, although what I could see looked very good. Would like to see them in person.

Now Andy, should make the NEW Version SDKFZ-234, W/ Radio Antennae, a and Front Basket, 8-Wheel RAD Armoured Car, for N. Africa, w/ Crew having a Coffe/Dinner Break for Winter, and Europe/Normandy? Also, a HORCH-Sdkfz-15Command Car? Still Waiting for a 6-Pounder Gun Team, and a Indian w/ Helmets MORTAR TEAM, for N.Africa and Europe/Normandy!

Andy-
Very nice pics. I have been a doubter on NMA - still am, but your enthusiasm will make me take a second look. The Sturm looks much better than the 232 to me for some reason. I have Honour Bound fever after seeing the new Winter Panther so the bar is set pretty high now for the competition.

The honour bound stuff is certainly stiff competition for everyone, the detail is superb

Guys

Thought the show was great not much to compare it to as fairly new to all this game. Was it me but did the Colletors showcase stuff look good but all the shins were out of proportion to the rest of their bodies? and i am with Eazy i think bigger than 1/30 but they did advertise it as 1/32???????

Also did you guys see the real Enigma machine that K&C UK had organised in the court yard area those guys were really interesting so made for a good coffee break outside.

TOY SOLDIER SHOW LONDON
For those of you not aware K&C UK organise this event March June and December in London.

June is always the funny one!!! never sure on how it will go....warm weather, holidays etc etc.

We have had a mass of positive comments now that with the show spread over 3 halls that collectors and traders alike that we are now established.

We had 250 tables filled with a good 700 through the door (down on the normal number) but the traders all commented that those that came through the doors bought!! so happy guys there.

A very good mix of traders as well and it was great to see (with my orgnisers hat on!) a mass of plastic hunters around our German friends stand rumerging through some very good plastics.

December we have 90% of tables pre sold already so looking good, Andy is more than certain he will be there.

So get yoru flights booked

Thanks, it looked even better on the display tables. It is only 11"x11" so nice and compact.
The larger slightly out of focus desert scene is nearly 2.5ft x 2.5ft which is great as we can get the whole 8th army on that one.

The one with the Sherman was actually me playing around and i made it out of polystyrene and a bit crude i now use craftfoam or styrofoam which makes for a better craft worka nd also is more up to the job of being taken around to shows.

Just finished a Normandy house with a Tiger coming through it looks real good. In fact just sold it as well!!! Customer cam eto showroom and liked it. So will have to make another.
