Streets of Hong Kong Facades (1 Viewer)

[REDCAP1959]

Just purchased some of the building facades from this range. Have to say they are stunning. Not cheap by any means, but the quality is great and I would highly recommend them to anyone who is interested in the streets of Hong Kong range. Hope to include them in a boxer rebellion scenario

I agree. SOHK is the primary focus of my collection. Whilst I have made a few building backdrops for my collection, they're mixed in with the K&C buildings... which are simply stunning. But, my only criticism is that for a working port, the releases so far are just a little too wholesome. I'd like to see some of the dens of inequity that the place was famous for. Brothels, gambling or opium dens etc... along with some of the disreputable characters, Triad gangsters, prostitutes, pick pockets etc that would be found therein.

Yes, disreputable characters, Triad gangsters, prostitutes, pick pockets etc .

So far the furthest they go is only opium smoking ^&grin

I am still holding out for a European police officer in the Khaki shorts and long socks.

A couple of ladies of the night that could go on a balcony (perhaps waving at a US Navy figure) might
work without offending anybody.

Yeah, am guessing that the seedy side of life may offend the sensibilities of some of the market for this series, which may be why we have not seen any releases yet?

I've had to improvise... and here we see Mad Jock negotiating some cultural exchange activities with Miss Suzie Wong

Yeah have to agree ladies of the night or anything in that area might cause offence to some people. Changing the subject slightly I go to the toy soldier show in London twice a year and the display that K & C put on has to be seen to be believed. Just follow the crowds because thats where the K&C stand will be. Ive suffered from open wallet surgery on a couple of occasions. Buts its great fun just to browse also. I usually pick up a few of their catalogues as well .
