Streets of Hong Kong (1 Viewer)

One of the advantages of arriving at the London show at 6am (!) is that you have plenty of time to wander round taking stuff in before the doors open and the punters pour forth. Last Saturday I had a good look at the SOHK range, now I know its not in my area of interest but it really is fantastic. The quality of the poses and painting is so good in my view, sometimes its good to look at an era you don't collect and probably never will, but you just enjoy looking at them

Nice pics and a great range I came to it late (very) but, have some nice pieces including the wedding procession which, is stunning. Happy with the odd bit as I know I would never be able to get it all

Rob,

I started collecting a few of these some years ago but the wife took over and now has a healthy collection. I'm sure your lovely wife could do the same.

I think it's a great range -- very colorful and well sculpted -- and seems representative of the period. I would love to collect it but I think you need a lot of room (not to mention money) to collect it.

From what I understand it is one of K & C's most popular ranges and does very well in Asia.

I agree, if I had more money and space I'd love to collect it, the same goes for Crusaders and ACW too. I just need those six numbers on Saturday Brad

Hi Rob,

Many thanks for posting the very nice shots of the SOHK range.

I think I see the base of the retired Chinese Pagoda HK074 in the first picture.

It must have been snapped up fast like the one on eBay recently.

I wonder if the Chinese Moongate HK089 was on offer.

Do you have anymore pictures ?

Thanks, Raymond.

Hi Raymond,

You are very welcome mate. I'm sorry I don't have anymore SOHK pics but you may find some more from other treefroggers on the London show thread. Andy covered things in much more detail than I did this time with me doing more of an overview, I will go more in depth next time at the March show.

All the best

Hi Rob,

No problem. It was nice of you to post the SOHK pictures, even though this K&C range is not in your sphere of collecting.

It was great to see Andy, Simon and yourself band together to cover the show in Jeff's absence.

By the way, nice helmet you had on there.

Cheers, Raymond.

Thanks for the great shots.

One of the big regrets of my collecting life is that I never acted on collecting this set until it was too far along. It will always be one of the best themes K&C has ever produced.

in found pics and descriptions about sets starting at HK001 , but most of the listings start with HK046.

Just tried looking at the pix, but get a message that the photos have been moved or deleted (photobucket)? Any idea where I can see them?

Sorry Jules, but I had to make space and delete quite a lot of pics. There should still be plenty of pics from other Treefroggers at the show in the show threads.

Hi panzerknacker,

You might like to check out the thread "Streets of Old Hong Kong Glossy Questions" in the Gloss section of the forum.

Then, go to Post #46 by Steven Chong who wrote an excellent account of the development of the SOHK series.

In Steven's post, you will find the answer to your question.....it is HK040.

Hope that helps.

Best Wishes, Raymond.
