MRDG006 "Royal Life Guards Standard Bearer"

This marching Non Commissioned Officer carries the Regimental Banner with the Danish Queen’s cypher in the centre.

MRDG007 "Royal Life Guards Sergeant"

Another marching NCO holding the short infantry sabre in his right hand.

MRDG008 "Royal Life Guards Fifer"

In addition to a regular regimental band the Life Guards also have a ‘Fife & Drum’ Corps. Previously K&C released a drummer now we’re adding the Fifer.

Normally a ‘Fife & Drum’ Corps comprises 16-20 musicians… Eight Side Drummers plus 8-12 Fifers.

ROM060 "Kneeling Roman Legionary"

Classic figure in a classic defensive pose. Crouching behind his shield with his ‘Pilum’ firmly anchored by his foot and angled at 45° to receive the enemy’s attack.

ROM061 "Standing Roman Legionary Throwing Pilum’"

A brand-new version of an old favourite. Using his shield to protect his kneeling comrade this Legionary prepares to throw his Pilum at the approaching enemy.

ROM064 "Rome At War"

Three of each of the previous 2 figures grouped together for added protection in a fighting formation.

This 6 figure set comes in its own specially-designed box with a full-colour cover.

ROM062 "Roman Soldiers At Ease"

A pair of Legionaries in a more relaxed pose discussing the events of the day or perhaps…grumbling about their Centurion or some other senior officer.

ROM063 "'Inspection!'"

The idea for this pair of figures came from one of my reference books that featured several great illustrations about the camp life of ordinary Roman soldiers while on campaign.

Here we see a very irate Centurion ‘making a very firm point’ with his wooden staff on the chest of a luckless Legionary who has obviously upset him.

VN175 "U.S.M.P. ‘On-Duty’"

This particular Military Policeman is a member of the 716th Military Police Battalion who provided security and law enforcement in the Saigon/Cholon/Tan Son Nhut metropolitan area.

Included in their responsibilities were the U.S. Embassy in the centre of Saigon and the massive Military Assistance Command Vietnam headquarters next to Tan Son Nhut Air Base.

K&C’s smartly-dressed MP is wearing his fully-buttoned-up ‘Flak Jacket’, polished helmet and carrying his M16 rifle and, of course, his Colt 1911 .45 Automatic Pistol on his right hip.

This figure works perfectly with our earlier-released M151 “Mutt”

U.S. Military Police version (VN142).

VN176 "South Vietnamese National Police “The White Mice”"

A familiar sight on many South Vietnamese city, town and occasionally village streets were these members of the National Police.

Clad in white cotton shirts and light grey trousers many of these policemen joined the police to avoid military conscription while enriching themselves at the same time with all kinds of corruption and intimidation.

It was often said by many South Vietnamese that the ‘White Mice’ committed many more crimes than they actually ever solved!

It’s also an unfortunate truth that these policemen were seen to be ‘walking targets’ for the Viet Cong. And so, even if you made a lot of money… you might not live long enough to spend it!

TF006 "Falklands War Scorpion"

The FV101 ‘Scorpion’ is a British armoured reconnaissance vehicle, sometimes referred to as a ‘light tank’.

It was designed to meet the British Army’s requirement for a light Combat Vehicle that could be air-portable and operate in both extremes of hot and cold weather.

Another requirement was that it be able to move across difficult terrain that had low ground pressure, similar to that of a soldier on foot. This would prove extremely fortunate in the wet, boggy conditions found on the Falkland Islands.

COMBAT USE

The first regular British Army unit to be equipped with ‘Scorpions’ and its stablemate, the ‘Scimitar’, was The Blues and Royals, the famous household cavalry regiment.

Two troops from ‘B’ Squadron of that same regiment were sent south to the Falklands. One troop was equipped with just 4 Scorpions while the other received 4 Scimitars.

THE K&C ‘SCORPION’

Our King & Country ‘Scorpion’ is hand-painted in the two-colour (Olive drab and black) camouflage typical of most British Army vehicles of the 1980s.

This great-looking model includes a 3/4 figure tank commander and a head ‘n’ shoulders tank driver sitting in the hull.

Together, they definitely add a powerful punch to any Falklands War Collection.

WS382 "Advancing Under Fire"

As bullets fly overhead these two young infantrymen move forward toward a new position.

WS383 "Covering Fire"

As one more infantryman dashes forward his comrade kneels down to provide a little fire support.

WS384 "Open Fire!"

As only one rifleman opens up on the enemy these two SS troopers add their combined firepower to help keep the opposition’s heads down while their comrades move ahead.

DD285-2 "US Paratroopers Covering Fire (101st Airborne)"

As above ... but with the colourful “Screamin Eagle” patch of the 101st.

DD286-2 "US Paratroopers Crouching Tommy Gunner (101st)"

As above ... but again with the “Pukin’ Chickens” shoulder patch.

DD288-2 "US Paratroopers Moving Forward ... Cautiously! (101st)"

As before but with the 101 patch.

IC042 "Imperial Match Lock Gun Team B"

This set portrays the large and unwieldy early fire arms of the Ching Dynasty... in action!

IF011 "Il Duce Saluting"

There have been quite a few requests for a standing figure of the Italian Dictator… and here he is!

LAH226 "Leni Riefenstahl film-maker Set"

A casually-dressed Riefenstahl leans over her cameramen during the filming of one of her epic documentaries. In addition to her civilian crew she could and did make full use of additional film crew from Nazi groups such as the SA (Sturmabteilung), Hitler’s brownshirts.

LAH229 "Standing Cameraman & Tripod"

Another of Riefenstahl’s many cameramen... This time behind the viewfinder of a tripod-mounted Arriflex... at the time one of the most advanced cine cameras in the world.

LAH256 "The NSKK Motorcyclist"

The NSKK (German: Nationalsozialistische Kraftfahrkorps) was the paramilitary National Socialist Motor Corps that existed from 1931 to 1945.

The NSKK served as a training organization for young people wanting to learn how to operate and maintain high performance motorcycles and automobiles. The NSKK was also used to transport Nazi Party members and officials all over Germany before 1939.

With the outbreak of war in September 1939 most of its members were mobilized into the Wehrmacht and Waffen SS as drivers, mechanics, instructors and dispatch riders.

Our prewar NSKK rider is dressed in their distinctive grey uniform and wearing their own special style and design of ‘crash’ helmet.
