More for the Zulu War (and a belated Thank You!)

The very nice chap that I acquired the horde of Mike’s Models Zulus and assorted other Colonial goodies from has continued with his sorting out and so discovered some other figures that he reckoned I would also be interested in. 

He was certainly right about that!

The following will be winging there way to Maison Crook in the next few days.

Painted British infantry - really pleased with these as it means that I should be able to flesh out the existing units. They will need rebasing and careful removal of the texturing. I will also need to harmonise the painting standard between the two - aka repainting the helmets into cinematic white!

Mounted Boers and a British cavalryman

Mahdists

British gun crews and a pair of drivers

Limbers, a brace of guns and a Rocket Launcher

I am really pleased with these and reckon that I now have everything I need for the Zulu War - which usually means that something else will be added….

The belated thank you goes to that all round good chap Mr David Barnes of The Ragged Soldier blog. He very kindly emailed me to let me know that the book The Zulu War: Then and Now, had been republished and was available from Naval and Military Press. Sadly I missed out on it but I really appreciated the gesture so thank you Mr Barnes for thinking of me!

Meanwhile, something quite extraordinary is currently en route and will form a later post once it has arrived….
