What's Your Favorite Inspiration Picture by K&C? (1 Viewer)

[WesternOutlaw]

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!


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!

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.
