Collectors Corner

Occasionally we get a rare opportunity to acquire individual items and complete collections for collectors that are thinning out their collection or from other dealers. These pieces are items that we do not normally stock. All are in mint condition or and in their original boxes, unless specified in the description. Please note these may have been on display.

So these are ideal pages to view if you are looking for that missing piece in your collection or just looking to find some very unique pieces that are not normally available.

This month we have added a very large collection of Aeroart, St Petersburg figures and also a very large collection of Plastic figures and Play Sets. We have also added Frontline French and Indian War sets in perfect condition.

Consignment Highlight

This month we feature sets from Thomas Gunn, First Legion, Britain's, Jenkins, King & Country, Frontine, St Petersburg and Plastics.

Diorama

• BR51037 -- Boulders and Rocks (Little Round Top, Devils Den, etc.) - Restock
• BR53012 Field Fortifications - Military engineering is the oldest of the engineering arts and was the precursor of the profession of civil engineering. Construction of fortifications, roads, bridges, camouflaging positions, surveying, and mapping are the province of military engineers. Because they were in the vanguard of any military force these soldiers were called “pioneers.” Their main weapons were the pick, axe, and shovel. Pictured in this grouping are four wicker gabions filled with earth and rock. The empty, pre-woven cylinders were light and would be carried in the ammunition train to be brought up to the front lines where the engineers would fill them, creating protection for siege guns and forward troops.

The Real West

United States Navy

• USN030 U.S. Navy Stars Stripes - A marching ‘Bluejacket’ sailor holding the 48-star national flag aloft.
• USN033 U.S. Navy Infantry Battalion Flagbearer - The U.S. Navy Infantry Battalion flag was for many decades, the actual flag of the U.S. Navy as a whole. The flag design of a navy blue, fouled anchor on a white diamond on top of a navy blue field dates back to the mid-late 19th century. Although it was superceded by a whole new design in 1959 this particular flag was in common usage throughout the period our K&C ‘Bluejackets’ represent i.e. the 1920s up until the late 1950s.

Bismark

Otto von Bismarck can easily lay claim to being one of the greatest giants of history of the 19th Century. As the mastermind of the unification of Germany in 1871 he was to go on and dominate European affairs for almost two decades before resigning in 1890.

• TR010 Count Otto von Bismarck

The Royals

Vietnam

The Vietnam War is often known as the “Helicopter War” as it was the first time in human history large numbers of helicopters were used in all kinds of combat roles and employing many different types and sizes of helicopters. Of all the different machines operated during the war the vast majority were the several variations of the Bell UH-1 ‘Iriquois’ better known as the ‘Huey’.

• VN162 Helicopter Pilot & Copilot - Two standing ‘Chopper’ pilots looking over a flight plan. The more senior is shown wearing the famous Stetson U.S. Cavalry hat and is obviously a member of the ‘AirCav’. The other pilot is wearing his ‘bonedome’ and the standard flight suit complete with some body armour and a side arm. Sidenote: At present K&C is also hard-at-work on our own mass-production UH-1 ‘Huey’ which we hope to release later in 2023 or early 2024.
• VN164 Maintenance Crew Chief - Just as important as the aircrew that flew the Hueys were the groundcrew guys who serviced them and kept them in the air. This Air Cav. Crew Chief is going through a check list on the ground before a flight.

Pirates

Though pirates have existed throughout history, from ancient times to modern day, the ‘golden age’ of piracy was the 17th and early 18th century, thriving in particular on the plunder of rich Spanish trade and supply routes from the New World to the Old. Countless Spanish galleons, holds bursting with newly minted gold and silver coin mined from the rich deposits discovered in Peru, Mexico and Bolivia, plied the Atlantic en route to the court of the Spanish king. The plunder was so rich that some 5,000 or more pirates were believed to be active at the time, even establishing whole land based pirate communities such as the island of Hispaniola and Tortuga. Infamous pirates of the time included Henry Morgan, Captain Kidd, Jack Rackham and the most feared of them all, the ruthless Blackbeard (Edward Teach). Drifting into fiction we will also be covering Stevenson’s anti-hero Long John Silver, perhaps best known for his wooden leg and trusty parrot, Captain Flint, with a penchant for pieces of eight. These are our first characters to get the range going. We will in time be adding more pirates as well as everything else you would expect from a fully-fledged pirate range such as colonial troops, marines and sailors, red-coated garrison forces and much more. We just can’t wait to get to the main feature of this range, the ships.

• PIR001 Caribbean Pirate with Grappling Hook
• PIR002 Pirate with Boarding Pike of Repelling
• PIR003 Pirate with Blunderbuss Pistol
• PIR004 Pirate with Cutlass and Flintlock Pistol
• PIR005 Captain Blackbeard
