2007 Collection Supplement (1 Viewer)

[UK_BOD]

Gents,

Just received my 2007 Catalogue Supplement and I must admit there are some excellent figures within its pages.

The British Royal Field Artillery piece/limber with 6 horses is probably the highlight of the new collection but the new additions to all the major series are excellent figures in their own right. I usually only collect the ACW series from this maker, but the more and more I see of the Napoleonics the more tempted I am.

Zulus next year and there's a taster on the back with an unpainted 3 set Zulu pack (Rorkes Drift looks like the first sets to be done). Who isn't going to collect these....

Hi Andy-

Can you scan the page with the unpainted Zulu figures and post it? Thanks.

Best regards,
Pierre.

Just saw the catalog/standard (spoilers);

The elephant is tempting ...

ZW:
- two piece gloss set in action poses for Modelzone (24th private and CS bourne)
- Gloss 24th in the Redcoat series (very nice!!)
- Christmas set in gloss; two 24th officers in a mess scene. "Christmas in Natal" I fell in love with this one, words won't do it justice; http://www.wbritaincollectorsclub.com/MemberShopDetail.cfm?ItemID=49
- A B&W preview of the best zulu sculpts I have ever seen. Based on Angus Mc Brides work for Osprey in matte. Each with info card. Initially based on Rorkes Drift.

I am very pleased with what I see so far.
Only wondering if the zulus will be sold as singles.

I presume the 24th Foot spent Christmas 1978 in Pietermaritzburg. I am not sure it may have been Helpmekaar though. Does anyone know where the officers mess was. The invasion began in mid January 1879. It is a great set though. I live and work in Pietermaritzburg.

Definately yes. The Osprey series is a great idea and the masters look outstanding. I have no idea how WB will tie it in with the rest of the series. There isn't a free ZW club figure though that you might have expected. They do have 4 different figures this time, one of them a napoleonic pioneer. I never would have expected him to look more bad-*** then the 2007 sapper, but he does .

For the elephant drawn artillery piece I am thinking Delhi Durbar

Right now I'm only thinking "must buy elephant".

 

[damian]

Ken or any other Zulu buffs out there.
Where did teh 24 th regiment of foot celebrate Christmas 1878. Was it Pietermaritzburg or Helpmekaar?

Hi Damian,

All I can say is "Wow!" Britains has scored several home runs with their new sets. The WW I British Field Artillery may just be the set that plunges me more deeply into collecting WW I figures! And,...that elephant!...What can I say! Spectacular!

Thanks for posting the pictures. You have made my heart pump faster!

Warmest personal regards,

Pat

I enjoyed the preview of new products. The Zulu War stuff will be neat and I like the Rev War artillery and Redcoat collection. I can't wait for my supplement. Thanks for pics. Leadmen
