Seahawk Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Question: how do we know they are unmarried? They certainly look quite cross about something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks,I only new about them by the movie with Michael Caine,but after reading about the true events,yes I found it interesting as well.Cheers.P.S. having a senior moment here as a boy never took any notice of history at school,maybe if we built these models it would have been a better way to learn,sorry about the ramblings.

I'm no expert,all I went by was what info that came with the kit and some googling,in a nut shell they have different shield colours,hair style and were younger,best to read about it would be my advice,Cheers.

FredG Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 (edited) Brave Men's Blood: The Epic of the Zulu War 1879 - Ian Knight is a good start to get to know what we British were playing at in Southern Africa.

Homer Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Lovely work Jim well done,as for them facing the 24th foot I think I would rather face them as my wife with her rolling pin in hand with a voice that could turn a RSM to a jibbering wreck .Have to go now "just comming dear". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clive_t Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Hey Jim, is there a diorama for these figures in progress? You do great dios, and I'll bet it would be a great way to show these fellas off? Just a suggestion, you understand! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Clive,They are all piled in a box at this moment,Do have a few sand bags made up for the British to take cover behind,with the Zulus at full charge,it's just gone on the back burner at the moment,have a 1/35 Australian Centurion on the build,and I have recieved 8 boxes of 28mm Perry British metal figures of the Sudan war from your part of the world,cost me an arm and a leg but could not buy anywhere else(exchange rate sucks),so I jumped in and started on a kit of the 7 pounder screw gun and 4 figures,almost finished the painting,and I also have the camel group I'm itching to paint,just not enough hours in the day,so thanks for the suggestion,it's kind of you and I do understand Cheers Mate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
