Hi guys,

I've been going back through some of the many fantastic pictures/displays by Gordon and Andy wondering which picture most inspired me to purchase and display a specific K&C theme/collection.

Wow, there's been so many over the last few years. I think I'll share the top three in my book (in no particular order):

This British 8th image drew my attention to the Desert Village collection. I would find myself collecting both DAK and British 8th to make similar scenes. The scene is also a great example of combining pieces from different themes/eras to make an excellent diorama.

Andy's "Behind the Scenes of Combat" sold me on the Village Stable and I soon found myself adding on to my own existing D-Day American collection.

Last; but in know way least, this little scene by K&C picturing not one (but two) Seehund submarines had me looking for retired Kriegsmarine pieces for a couple of years.

So, these are my favorite three. Again, there's been so many and every K&C piece is a treasure. Keep them coming Andy and Gordon!

What is/are your favorite(s)?

EDIT, a few of my own dioramas inspired from the scenes/images pictured above:

Hi Rob,

I can't see anything that I don't like about your pictures!:smile2: Everything's great just as it is. It's not going to be easy to reproduce what do you have made!:rolleyes:


Cheers

Well, that is an easy one for me .... The recent TARAWA display(s) as seen in the September K&C dispatches and on the K&C flyer.

AND ... I got to see it up close and personal in the K&C room at Chicago. {sm4}

Hi LaRRy,

I couldn't agree more with you! :eek:

Cheers

Got to agree with Larry and Enrico. For me it's a K&C range that has really hit the button and I've jumped right off the Amtrac into the sand with it !{sm4}

For me, it was when Andy produced the bunker and vent tower. Robin.
