That glider is flat out awesome

I wish you gentlemen could have been present at the photoshoot (back in 2005, if memory serves). It was a hot, sunny July or August day, and Kevin, the late Larry Lo, Brad Lewin (Jazzeum), Tim Tyler and the late Chuck Karen (Evilchuck) carried down virtually my entire K&C collection, set up a series of dioramas produced by Gordon Neilson of K&C on a makeshift table, and Kevin, the art director and photographer, took literally thousands of incredible photographs. We had an amazing time, and did about 80% of the photography for the K&C volumes over a period of 2-3 days.

Here's a photo by Kevin of the entire European Village diorama we set up for the photoshoot. Every building, wall, facade and diorama base is K&C:

He is heavy, but he is my brother in arms. Robin.

Brilliant Arnhem scene again!

Thanks.

I liked the look of this figure on the K&C website because it appeared to have a non camouflaged helmet and offered some variety to the other figures with foliage in their helmets.

Just a bit confused now.

Just to say I added MG093 to my collection and the helmet is indeed plain with no camouflage. Just what I wanted.

This new Arnhem series is superbly well done.

Reinforcements are needed .....

Louis, that is impressive mate. Do you have a tennis court or similar outdoor space you could convert to hobbyville?

No just a regular backyard. My house is on half an acre, but it appears larger in the photos, because both of my neighbors are on lots of more than an acre, each with ponds.

I love that diorama, Robin! It looks like one of Ken Osen's.

Sounds wonderful Louis

I don't have a pond either, but I do have access to a river that adjoins by boundary, I can literally cast a fishing line into the River from my yard but as I feed the fish, mainly Bream and Catfish, they are more like my pets than edibles

I have considered getting into Radio Control Boats but doubt any watercraft using the river would give me any right-of-way, especially young teenages that think the river is there just for their use

I used to feed the ducks in my neighbors' ponds, but I stopped after the great duck massacre of 2018. One day when I was late getting home from the office, several ducks flew over the fence and landed in my back yard looking for their bread. Unfortunately, my huskies were out, and the ducks never knew what hit them ... since then I don't feed the ducks for fear of a repeat.
