Britains Zulu War - DISP09 Rorke's Drift Hospital Base (1 Viewer)

[zulucollector]

An intresting item that came up in a recent ebay auction in Canada with a selling price of $600. Wbritains apparently produced 10 of these diorama via our friends hudson and allen for world wide distribution. The diorama base is 18 x 12 in dimensions. It looks to be the same as what britains uses in their marketing campaign.... In the original ad it says more to come to fill out the compound. Does anyone have any history about this diorama base as I do not see anything post 2009 on them.

I came in late, collecting Zulu November 2009 and was not up to speed as far as accessories at that time, otherwise possibly would been in time to pick up one of the ten bases made at that time. I had the brochure in 2010 and noted that these 10 were the first in the series with more to come to complete the compound. Confident this never happened, unless Hudson's approached only those that took the first 10 to extend what they had. Imagine someone on this forum would have the original base and maybe able to shed some light. I think I would still be up for the complete base if it became available again. Cheers, Robin.
