Britain's Zulu War (1 Viewer)

Always good to see something Zulu to start the day.

 

[Mister Dave]

Thanks Joe. My wish list shows the wounded set out of stock at present, so I suspect it'll be re-stocked soon and then in the mail to me. This set will be the start of my second little cluster of figures in action around Isandlwana.

Well I didn't have to wait long as it turns out, as these guys showed up today.

Nice line up in these last photos too Joe.

Very nice photos Joe, still waiting for my new figures and then will get in some playtime, as it has been awhile

 

[The Lt.]

Looking forward to your joining me Scott it's about that time of the month the May figures will be shipping. Got to insure we start the villagehorse's day off with something Zulu. Here's one for today.....The Lt.

You are too kind. The days seem to drag waiting for the next May figures release.

Seems like the May figures are being shown in stock and begining to ship to their dealears. TF announced they receive one of the Carbineers. In the mean time the Mission Station continues under attack.....The Lt.

Mike my good Aide de Camp they say and I'm sure you'll agee that a pictures is worth a thousand words. You'll note the Carbineer appears first and the NMP second. The standard uniform of the NMP was black which due to the dye would turn a dark brown after being wet. The subject of the color change has been debated I tend to go along with Ian Knight and Angus McBride vs Ian Castle an got a hunch you do also......Joe

Mine should be here next week, shortage with my dealers order.

I am a bit miffed about the new NMP single figure as it is the same as the "limited" edition set.

Ditto Scott and by the way the Kneeling Firing Carbineer and the 24th Foot firing his Martini-Henry are in stock at WB so with luck they'll be shipped along with your Carbineer......The Lt

Many Thanks, Joe!
I hadn't seen the NC trooper. I thought they were the same mould. Thanks for clarifying and showing us the side-by side.
BTW- I do agree with you, Knight, McBride et al, in that the brown/black dye should be prominent.

Scott,
If we know the Lt., that's a resounding "YES". I'm sure we'll see Padre George in Kittery!
