ABOUT KENNETH TOYS LTD

Welcome to The World of theknightrider

Introduction

Hello and welcome to my obsession. My name is Ken Beard, and I'm the driving force behind Kenneth Toys LTD. Here, my goal is simple yet profound: to offer passionate hobbyists the most accurate and affordable 3D-printed aftermarket parts for the Fanhome 1:8 Knight Rider K.I.T.T. models. Additionally, I provide high-quality 3D-printed dioramas and custom Hot Wheels creations. Each creation is a testament to my dedication, only shipped if it would be acceptable in my personal collection.

Future Plans

In the future, I plan to recreate many 1:8 scale prop replicas from the Knight Rider show, including a complete 1:8 semi-trailer display set. Hot Wheels customization is another passion of mine, and soon you will find many accessories for modifying your own, or buying my creations will be another option available to you. 

My Knight Rider Journey

I have been a fan of Knight Rider since I could talk. It was more than just a show; it was a bridge that connected me with my father. Together, we shared countless evenings watching the show, bonding over our shared fascination. Life took a somber turn when my father was diagnosed with lung cancer. When he passed away, my passion for the show grew even stronger.

Professional Transition

After my military service, I transitioned into civilian communications. Unfortunately, in late 2010, I sustained an injury that left me with a rare chronic pain disease, necessitating an early medical retirement. Since then, I have developed a strong interest in 3D modeling, 3D printing, and various home manufacturing methods. These newfound skills sparked a fresh enthusiasm within me.

3D Printing Passion

3D printing, with its precision and potential, became a literal canvas for my digital creative abilities. It provided a means to channel my passion for Knight Rider into this burgeoning hobby. Over the years, I have honed my skills and focused on creating aftermarket parts for Knight Rider scale model building enthusiasts. This passion led me to launch this website on October 1st, 2023, to share my work and help fellow builders worldwide.

Products and Services

Here, you will find not only products related to 1:8 scale Knight Rider models but also digital files suitable for 3D printing enthusiasts who prefer to print and complete these items themselves. This includes lifetime download access, complimentary updates, and opportunities for merchants to offer these items on their own websites. In the future, we intend to incorporate tutorials and assembly videos into the members' area.

Collaboration with Dragon Fire Creations, LLC

My wife, Erika, part of Dragon Fire Creations, helps out and creates custom tumblers, car coasters, coasters, pens, mugs, keychains, etc. Her items will become available in the shop as I have time to add them. All proceeds from her sales go to helping with her fathers caner treatments. They both can't thank you all enough for your wonderful support.
