I believe Ken will sell them individually. Martin

That's "Signs of Zulus" set no1. Martin

Omdurman was that late, it was a separate campaign. That's why were doing it as a different range. Martin

And the first campaign where Australians (in their one unit) served outside of Australia. Also Canadians but they were actualy civilians, contracted because of their expertise with river navigation. Martin

A fair point :)

No, it's just that I read post where collectors say they would like to see something made, and I've already made it for Heritage. They either don't realise that they would match or they don't like my figures. It couldn't possibly be the latter, could it? :) Martin

I also meant mounted officers and camel corps with union flag. :) Martin

I wonder how many collectors realise that, The War along the Nile, Nile Campaign, Gordon Relief Expedition and The Sudan War are actually all the same war? Martin

Heritage! Martin

That's really starting to look the part now. I'm going to have to find time to get back to making some Victorian stuff.:) Martin

The British busby changed over the years, sometimes a Yeomanry unit would hang on to an older style (or change it latter due to economy.) In the same way that the C&W Yeomanry kept the old style tunic. Also officers busbies were often made with fully fur, as foot guards bearskins are...

I meant to add this.

Remember the British Hussar busby of the period is closer to the head and more cylindrical than the French Napoleonic colpack. Also there's an edging to the top that hides the top of the bag. Martin

I'm glad you lengthened the left arm ^&grin Martin

Nice figures, should they not be in the glossy section though? :) Martin

Bloody foreigners, coming over here with their castles! :) Martin

They are two separate cords. The first cord is fastened to the bugle. The one around his body is just decorative. Rather than try to explain, here's some pictures.

"The soldier's battle". Fought in the fog, with soldiers breaking into small groups. The Guards shouting "Remember Waterloo"!! Martin

Love the rifle drill in the original, especially the pre SMLE "Sand at Ease"! Drill is like a pill. Take it every day to make you feel better! :) Martin

Excellent series. Last night was about the "MacKay-Bennett", built to repair undersea cables, she was the ship that collected the bodies from the Titanic disaster. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p01n490d
