More camels maybe ??

 

[The Military Workshop]

Seems Waynepoo did find something I missed.
No surprises Obee saw what I had spotted.
It is good to look through in detail and see what you can find.

PS Wayne WA, Well spotted on the camels. Could fit in with a few series which I guess is the idea.

Thanks for your photos mate, especially the wooden Warbirds. After awhile you run out of superlatives so I won't try.

Well, what can one say that hasn't already been said? Certainly a most remarkable collection, of remarkable proportions. I think we may have an answer to the old saying "He who dies with the most toys, wins." Many thanks for posting all the pictures. -- Al

Dear Tom,

Thank you so much for the wonderful pics, they have provided much insight to even how the lights were placed to shine horizontally at the figures, something i have not thought of. For once, i saw the pic of the KnC vietnam range, they are amazing. I hope, i can be there one day to look at all the collection in the shop. I am really bless by the effort to upload all these pics. Thank you for sharing


Best regards
Phoong

Tom,

Are these things to look forward to tomorrow in DISPATCHES????

Hope so

John

More pic's.

Any idea what the gray master figures behind the early WW1 french infantry maybe? Look like they could be more french figures.

Are they Del Prado?

No, they are not Del prado, I think these are new KC releases going to be on selling soon....

Tom,
Thank you for sharing the extensive batch of pics of your K & C HK visit!!{eek3} The store looks absolutely amazing. The sheer volume of figures, vehicles, displays, etc. is staggering! I bet the K & C team is just loving their new larger store and it's location. You must have had a day to remember, to say the least. What a feast for the eyes. Everyone that visits always says Andy is such a gracious host as well. Fantastic stuff Tom, thank you!!

You are right....on closer inspection I see they are new additions and I am very happy. Hopefully some Mamelukes in the future.

You've given us the virtual tour of the place and done a really remarkable job. I can now eliminate visiting this place on my Hobby "bucket list" {sm4}

Enjoy the Cleopatra set with her under the Italian archway....looks like I spy with my little eye the Imperial Chinese timber fort that was previewed in the recent collector as well.

Fun to see the Nam figures and the Huey as well.

Tom,
I visited Andy in june,it is an amazing sight when you step through the glass doors.
I've known andy for a few years now and he is always interested in making time to meet collectors that travel to Hong Kong.
My wife started me collecting King and Country,we were in Pacific Place and she looked over and said model soldiers,five years and 879 soldiers 89 tanks and vehicles and 12 aircraft,I'm still collecting.
When we were there,I saw the ruined temple and decided to get some Lighthorse to go with it,I'm about halfway on my Lighthorse diorama and have about 30 turks and Australians with more on the way.
I was also very lucky to see the new Bristish WW1 Middle East in their grey form,amazing amount of detail.
My wife and I have an arrangement,whatever I spend on King and Country,I spend on her,she has a 3 carat diamond engagement ring,and has started collecting the Berlin 38 series,as well.
I'm looking forward to the new releases next year.
