[King & Country]

Hi Guys,

Re the individual Tank Crew figures—the 5 pieces are all brand-new… not just an upgrade of the old WS16. So, all completely redesigned figures doing different things than WS16. I hope you’ll like them.

Plus as promised here’s a pic of the Fiesler Storch… a couple of Gordon’s latest dioramas and… one or two sneak peeks!

Enjoy!

Best wishes… Merry Christmas and… happy collecting!

Andy C. Neilson

Wow! The Storch is beyond awesome. Even the get real guys will have to love it! Just amazing! Also love Gordon's destroyed brick building diorama, as well as the cool new North African stuff. The gestapo car in Gordon's diorama is really something, and that desert SUV is a must have! I am just drooling with anticipation!

Looks like '07 will be a big year for fans of N. Africa. The Vichy French on camels are a nice change of pace. I'm not completely sold on the Storch. If it is limited to 500 or less though, I may buy first and ask questions later. Will be great to see it with the accompanying figures including the Mussolini/Skorenzy version.

Well, as the saying goes, all good things come to those who wait and this is no exception.

The Storch is delicious as is that desert vehicle, whatever it is. I hope it's not just a prototype. Is that a new tank in Storch dio or just a repaint of WS 68, the Panzer tankette?

I assume the dios will be seen in forthcoming brochures. I'm sure Louis is already scheming on how to get them

Joan D'arc is superb. Is this the first woman from K & C (other than the Egyptian series)? Andy, how will we able to get one. Emails to Fred haven't worked out too well.

I assume pictures of the new tank crew will be forthcoming closer to reissue time.

Brad-
That appears to be the new AK Mark II that has been mentioned on the board.

 

[tommy416]

Any idea if that destroyed brick building diorama will be for sale?

Wow! I need to file my 2006 income tax as soon as the holidays are over. Expecting a hefty refund.

The Storch's canopy looks solid/painted...I thought it will come with a clear canopy...any pilot and crew with it?(unless what is featured is a prototype?). That desert SUV (whatever you call it...Frenchy?)) looks neat ...I wish it came with a clear windshield.

The Gestapo dio...is that Auswitchz? Kinda creepy.

Thanks Andy for sharing the photos.

Merry Christmas

It looks translucent to me - I think the canopy is clear, just not a good photograph.

[aujj65]

Not completely sure, but I think that is a Humber heavy utility vehicle.

AAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMAAAAAAAAAZZZZZZZZZZZIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG.........

Fantastic dios! The plane looks amazing, will it cost much
Do you have pictures of the tank crew?
A while back someone put a reply to a post saying that there would be resistance fighters in the future (they had pictures) is this true?

 

[jazzeum]

You know, I'm getting tired of saying or seeing "just when you think it can't get any better, it does" because Andy keeps outdoing himself!

I think the figure being escorted out by the German officer is supposed to be a French resistance fighter or it could be somebody destined for the camps. The French were quite complicit in sending Jews to the camps as were many countries although they initially tried not to send French citizens but emigres only. The one country that earns high marks for resisting the Nazis on this were the Danes. Even the British were not immune from this as the Jews in the Channel Islands were sent to the camps and did not return.

If you'll note, in the French resistance dio, there is a German police dog. Andy hasn't made too many sets with dogs. There is the Hong Kong police set, the Patton Command Car set and the early Battle of the Bulge sets. There may be others but they escape me at the moment.

What to add?

The Feiseler is superb, the dromaderies are over my expectations and the gestapo car (with officer and resistant) is a must to have.

I collect since the beginning of 2004 and those three years were very fertile in passion and emotions for K&C products and it already looks that 2007 will be more exciting than ever.

Obviously, at K&C, they do no sit on their past success and manage to surpass themselves releases after releases and are able to surprise us with incredible products in every aspects such as creativity and art.

Thanks to all of you at King and Country and I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Pierre.

Fred,

You don't like the camels? I guess to each their own but I love them, especially because I love the old Camel Corps. I just acquired one of them and will post a photo later tonight.

Joan d'Arc also looks fantastic and a must for me.

 

[Louis Badolato]

I don't know about you guys, but for me the wait until March (the Westcoaster and the N.Y. Symposium) is going to be doubly hard, frought with anticipation of what Andy will be bringing to debut. I can't wait to see this stuff in person!

The rubbled out building is incredible, a work of art really. The desert pieces look really nice as well, but the building is just....... ..............wow....... .......Gordon is the man is all I can say, I am a huge fan of his terrific work..............
