Her cousin and rival, Elizabeth I, lived on for another 16 years before dying in 1603.&lt;br&gt;In a sense though, Mary had her revenge... Her only son, James VI of Scotland eventually became James I of England upon the death Elizabeth who died unmarried and childless.</description>

                <description>&lt;img src=&#039;https://www.zinnfigur.com/out/pictures/generated/product/1/390_245_75/803_LW93.jpg&#039; border=0 align=&#039;left&#039; hspace=5&gt;Almost everyday K&amp;C receives requests, suggestions and other ideas covering a wide range of different subjects from collectors not just in China but from almost every country and continent around the world.&lt;br&gt;Earlier this year we came across a suggestion from one particular collector of our aircraft models and aviation-related figures that we talked about and decided would be fun to make and here it is... &#039;The Luftwaffe Musikkorps&#039;&lt;br&gt;Before World War II and during it, all branches of the German military recognized the many benefits and morale - boosting opportunities provided by an official military band.&lt;br&gt;Within the Third Reich&#039;s Luftwaffe (The German Air Force) these bands played a major role both on the &#039;home front&#039; and on &#039;overseas deployment&#039;.&lt;br&gt;In the case of the Luftwaffe&#039;s Musikkorps, it was not an independent combat unit but instead was a regular part of a division or Regimental Headquarters Company.&lt;br&gt;The Luftwaffe Musikkorps also had a wide-spread presence... There was no single &#039;Luftwaffe Band&#039; rather, almost every major branch, regiment and air district had their very own Musikkorps Personnel. A standard band consisted of mostly professional musicians led by a conductor usually known as a &#039;Musikmeister&#039; or even &#039;Obermusikmeister&#039;. The size of the bands nearly always depended on the availability of talented musicians. Some small units could muster just a dozen or so musicians while other much larger formations (especially the fighter and bomber gruppes) might have 40-50 musicians (mostly professional but also some talented amateurs).&lt;br&gt;This new King &amp; Country Luftwaffe Musikkorps has 22 marching musicians including woodwind, brass and percussion instruments. This allowed the band to perform marching music, fanfares and even some classical concert repertoire.&lt;br&gt;As can be seen in our photos all of these Luftwaffe Musikkorps musicians are wearing the distinctive blue-grey, Luftwaffe uniforms adorned with the distinctive &#039;Swallows Nests&#039; on both shoulders. In addition, they wear their trousers tucked into tall black leather boots. Headgear for our band is the M35 Stalhelm (steel helmet) painted a pale blue / grey and decalled with the Luftwaffe eagle on the left side. Also included with this band is the regimental &#039;Schellenbaum&#039; known in English as the &#039;jingling johnnie&#039;. Although not a musical instrument it was a key feature of many German military bands.</description>

This amazing sculpture was created by British sculptor David Williams Ellis and stands on a 20-ton triangular granite plinth at the heart of the Memorial surrounded by 160 white stone columns that list the names of the 22,442 British service personnel who died during the Normandy campaign in the summer of 1944.&lt;br&gt;K&amp;C&#039;s rendition in 1:30 scale captures the courage and spirit of the Memorial as the Sergeant, carrying a Sten Gun, encourages a rifleman rushing forward together with a Lance Corporal Bren Gunner providing covering fire.&lt;br&gt;A fine little tribute to an impressive-looking statue at the centre of this magnificent Memorial!</description>

After 24 years of marriage and the birth of their daughter, Mary, Henry annulled the marriage in order to pursue Anne Boleyn.&lt;br&gt;When the Pope in Rome refused Henry&#039;s wish for an annulment he simply left the Church of Rome and decided to set up his very own Church of England which in turn triggered the English Reformation.&lt;br&gt;Anne of Cleves was Henry&#039;s fourth marriage and the only one to be unconsummated which led to a very swift ending after just six months.&lt;br&gt;Anne also happily accepted the marriage annulment when it swiftly came.  This certainly gained the King&#039;s favour and ensured both her life and a generous settlement that included her own home, Hever Castle.</description>

She married him just four months after her predecessor had been beheaded. She went on to outlive him- though only by a year.&lt;br&gt;Add these four Royal ladies to your fine collection and you have a colourful and very royal reminder of one of Britain&#039;s most married rulers... Henry VIII &amp; His Six Wives.&lt;br&gt;And finally, we come to two of the most famous monarchs that ever settled on two very different thrones in the British Isles...</description>

Almost 7,000 were produced and they fought extensively in both the European and Asia/Pacific Theatres of War.&lt;br&gt;     Our King &amp; Country Bocage Buster has, of course, a quartet of steel forks welded onto the lower front of the vehicle and comes complete with a tank commander figure in the turret.  Adorned with the nickname Sloppy Joe it will make a very useful addition to any D.Day collection of K&amp;C infantry and armour battling through that dangerous Normandy countryside in the summer of 1944.</description>

Her eventful reign and its effect on history and culture gave her name to the first &#039;Elizabethan Era&#039;.&lt;br&gt;Elizabeth was the only surviving child of Henry VIII  and his second wife, Anne Boleyn.&lt;br&gt;During her long reign she accomplished many great successes including the defeat of the Spanish Amada and the expansion of England&#039;s overseas colonies and trade through exploration and... piracy.&lt;br&gt;Simultaneously, she established the Church of England as a moderate Protestant institution striking a balance that curbed religious persecution and brought a degree of stability to a deeply divided nation.&lt;br&gt;In addition the &#039;Virgin Queen&#039; ushered in an &#039;Elizabethan Golden Age&#039; where culture and literature bloomed and play rights such as Shakespeare and Marlowe revolutionized English theatre for the benefit of the entire world.</description>

Their job was to clear away any obstacles or obstructions from the path of advancing or attacking troops.&lt;br&gt;The iconic image of an assault pioneer features a taller than average soldier with a full beard... a heavy leather apron and, of course, a large heavy axe.&lt;br&gt;At the time of the final assault on the Alamo, Santa Anna&#039;s Pioneers were at the forefront of the Mexican infantry hacking their way through the wooden gates and doors embedded in the rough adobe and stone walls surrounding the old mission.</description>

Stalin, the Supreme Soviet Leader and... Franklin D. Roosevelt, President of the United States.&lt;br&gt;This proved to be Roosevelt&#039;s final wartime conference before his death just two months later on April 12, 1945.&lt;br&gt;Observers at Yalta noted that the President appeared visibly weakened and very ill.&lt;br&gt;While initially celebrated as a triumph of wartime cooperation the political and practical legacy of Yalta faded quickly.&lt;br&gt;Following the conference Stalin failed to honour his promise of free elections in Eastern Europe, instead establishing communist governments dominated by Moscow.&lt;br&gt;Although Churchill was far more sceptical of Stalin&#039;s Yalta promises he could not convince Roosevelt of the Russian dictator&#039;s talent for duplicity and brutality.&lt;br&gt;This all-new sculpt of the three wartime leaders follows on from K&amp;C&#039;s first rendition of &#039;The Big Three&#039; which appeared back in 2012 and was retired in 2016.&lt;br&gt;Since that time we have had literally hundreds of requests to reproduce the original models.&lt;br&gt;In this particular instance we made the decision to produce a brand-new sculpt of the 3 wartime leaders based on another famous photo taken on a different day of the conference.&lt;br&gt;The biggest differences are that Prime Minister Churchill is now wearing his khaki uniform as Colonel of the 4th / 5th Btn. of The Royal Sussex Regiment complete with a heavy wool military greatcoat and a Russians-style fur hat.&lt;br&gt;In our first &#039;Big Three&#039; set Churchill is wearing another of his uniforms, that of an Honorary Air Commodore of the Royal Air Force.&lt;br&gt;Another feature of this new trio of figures is that President Roosevelt himself looks decidedly older and less well that he did previously. In addition his &#039;body-language&#039; suggests that he is leaning more towards Stalin than Churchill.&lt;br&gt;This reflects the fact that in private F.D.R. believed that Great Britain was now a &#039;spent force&#039; and that the future of post war politics globally would be decided alone by both America and the USSR.&lt;br&gt;Stalin meanwhile looks on with faint amusement at both Western leaders... he trusts neither of them but, then again, he trusted no one!</description>

By her side is one of her many courtiers bringing her some important information.</description>

Recording these Hong Kong residents and the clothes they wore as well as their homes, favourite modes of transport and all kinds of other details, both simple and elaborate, were a legion of photographers - some expatriate but the majority local Chinese all with an eye for detail and originality.&lt;br&gt;This latest addition to our &#039;Streets&#039; series portrays a young Hong Kong photographer going about his business.  Although dressed in the simple but practical Chinese fashion of the day he still wears his hair long in a &#039;queue&#039;. This featured a long braid of hair at the back of the head while the top of the scalp is shaved back.&lt;br&gt;As a nod to modernity this young Hong Kong photographer is also wearing a Western-style &#039;Straw Boater&#039;. These hats were a semi-formal summer hat for men and were popular from the late 19th century until the early 20th century. They first arrived in China and Hong Kong on the heads of Westerners as a lighter alternative to the &#039;Solar Topee&#039; or sun helmet.&lt;br&gt;While in some Asian societies the &#039;Solar Topee&#039; was seen as representing foreign colonialism the more modern &#039;boater&#039; was more acceptable and more widely worn by Asians of all classes.&lt;br&gt;Here our Hong Kong photographer is about to take a photo with his glass plate camera mounted on a simple wooden tripod.&lt;br&gt;These vintage, large-format cameras used a coated sheet of glass as the negative or positive instead of flexible film.&lt;br&gt;The entire process required photographers to coat, sensitize, expose and develop the plate - a highly tactile process much-prized today for its exceptional detail and unique aesthetic.&lt;br&gt;On the ground, at his feet, is a large travelling box containing additional glass plates and a selection of chemicals to be utilized in this process.</description>
