Hello to all. I am new to the forum and have been collecting K&C for about two years. I like the First World War figures and British and German WW2. I have had some ideas for future releases that I would like to see produced one day. (Please, Andy....) I just wondered if you guys would agree?

1. A British WW1 tank crew at rest to go with the excellent MKIV tank. The crew could have a mixture of overalls, the early leather helmet as well as steel helmets and of course the chain mail face mask.

2. A German WW2 infantry cart loaded with gear to go with the "On the road" (WS119) and "Walking machine gun team" (WS120). You could have a soldier pulling the cart with extra soldiers walking alongside. The cart could be loaded with panzerfausts, MG boxes, rolled zelts, etc. Also, one of the soldiers could be carrying the famous panzerschreck, walking to battle somewhere in Normandy 44.

As far as I know, I don't think a WW1 tank crew has ever been produced with leather helmets.

Once again, hello to all and I hope I didn't bore you with my first post.
 
Welcome to the forum.

I like your idea about the tank crew for the WWI MkIV tank. That would be a nice addition.
 
Welcome on board. I think you have a couple of excellent suggestions, especially the equipment cart. -- Al
 
Welcome on board,
I like your ideas; especially about the WWII germans with cart.(WWII is my favorite period)
Just to complete the picture I would also like to see a german field kitchen and a horse drawn carriage, like the ones they used extensively in 1939( the german infantry was not fully motorized in '39) and in Russia. There are a lot of photos around that can be used as reference. A british tea van (like the ones used on RAF airfields) would also be a very nice addition to the collection

Welcome abroad mate,
Some outstanding ideas there. Great to see some new blood with great ideas on WW1. I have just purchased two more of those MKIV's and had them repainted with different names and numbers. But your suggestion of Tank crews has got me thinking.
Once again welcome to the Forum and hope to see some of your WW1 dios posted.
Cheers from the Land Downunder, Howard

Just an aside, I have an Old Northwest Trading Co. MkIV also and it near matches up to the K/C in size and detail. Though a different green, makes for a nice duo...I do like your repaint idea...Michael
