"Gin Gin I Love You" (1 Viewer)

And so it begins. The first delivery of the Anglo-Zulu War sets for the Battle of Gingindhlovu. GG99-02, GG99-03, GGZ-05, and GGZ-08 (as well as WBritain 53001 "Mealie Bag Wall sections set). I'll have to say, these are really very nice sculpts and excellently finished. I'm glad I decided to collect this range now. These sets are going fast and quickly retired.

THX Mark. So far I've been able to get all the sets I want but a few of the sets required a search with multiple dealers. In some cases I bought the last one in stock. I have 4 more orders that are "in the mail". I made the decision to get them now instead of delaying in longer. Going forward I'll be ordering the sets I want as they are released.

The Scarlet coats are eye catching Mike. Already you have presented a vignette that tells a story. Robin.

Thank you very much Robin. The scarlet coats are like visual magnets aren't they. This small display will be expanding quite a bit going into next week as well as the end of the month when the JJD March releases are available.

Very convincing background Mike.

Very convincing background Mike.

THX Matt. The background is a 36-inch x 24-inch poster of a photograph of a South African savannah that I cut to size to fit the back of the 36-inch shelf. I am very pleased how it worked out

Mike,
Yes, a great start. The Zulus are wonderful sculptures. The background really brings the figures to life.

Thank you Steve. I think that the Zulus are some of John's best sculpts.

Stunning backdrop that really bring these figures alive. Excellent!

THX Rob. I am starting to see that the underlying theme of all these kind comments is that the backdrop is what brings this shelf display to life. It's certainly "knocking the ball out of the park!"

Moving in from all sides. Already coming together brilliantly. Inspiring me to want to revisit this series. Robin.

I'm certainly glad I revisited the Anglo-Zulu War era. Years ago I had a rather large collection of WB Rorkes Drift figure sets and buildings. Alas, I sold it all off to new homes. Oh well, that was then and this is now. The important thing is that I'm really enjoying 'getting back on the saddle".

If I was starting out now, I would be happy to only collect JJD as John is covering all the figures. Plus they are amazing sculpts and uniform in appearance. I might have had to procure some accessories elsewhere, but as far as figures and especially mounted ones, I need no other manufacturers. Too late for me now, as I have heaps of Britain’s, plus TG, Conte and Heritage, so now can only modestly supplement with the best of JJD. Just how I find myself currently. Robin.

Glad to see you back in the Zulu war club

 

[Panzer ace]

Perfect figure placement!
