Great sets, the 3 surrendering Germans are brilliant, the FOB civilians are also some of my favourites, the guy with the wheelbarrow looks like a real character.

Where in Belgium [or Germany and Northern France] do you buy from? There used to be a shop in Dunkirk and also Charleroi, are they still there. I am planning my summer trips over that way, Saalburg, for the Roman Limes and then a drive upto the German Tank Museum, then back to the UK via Overloon, Netherlands, 1500 miles round trip, not counting internal trips. With possibly a second to the Ardennes, if possible.

Hi,
I do not know about the shop in Dunkirk, but the one in Charleroi is still there ( Marcinelle is the name of the town) I Always buy my figures in a shop called "Toyland " in the belgian coastal town of De Panne just next to the French border 15 km from Dunkirk( La Panne famous beach in 1940 known for the evacuation of Belgian and British troops during operation Dynamo) Also in that shop 5 or 6 of my dioramas are on display and for sale .
Hope this helps

Thanks for that, the shop you mentioned is the one i was thinking of, only one K & C shop close to me, Magpies in Evesham, the London Guards Toy Soldier Shop has closed and there are very very few shop sellers in the UK.

Thanks Again.
