Great looking scene with your new buildings Joe. Excellent way to start my day, cup of coffee and viewing a great dio. Happy Labor Day. Chris

Thanks Chris the buildings are not new I've had them for years and featued in many of my Zulu War photo diorams throughout the forum.

This series of attacks on the Commissary Storehouse including the Kraal comes to an end......The Lt.

Excellent pictures Joe {bravo}}{bravo}}{bravo}}

Your pictures got me into collecting WB Zulu sets in a big way, cost me a fortune but I ain't complaining :wink2: ^&grin :salute::

I'd love the space to set out my Rorke's Drift Mission Station as per yours

Cheers mate

As always Joe, a very nice series of photos of your very nicely staged AZW collection . . . . .

Once the last drop from the kwaJim udder has been milked(!) will you all as collectors of the Zulu range continue to support it through iSandlwana and possibly Ulundi or is it Rorke's Drift and then move on to something else?

No sinister motive behind the question just wondering whether other peoples interest in the subject goes beyond the most famous set piece action from the campaign.

As someone who immersed myself in the subject for almost 25 years it was iSandlwana rather than kwaJim that drew me in.

I hope something materialises for GINGINDLOVU.

I've no doubt a number of us will continue to expand our matte collections moving on from kwaJim Isandlwana. I know I have along with others an will continue to do so. Currently they're other sources to draw from along with WB to continue moving forward.............The Lt.

Thanks Michael they're older photos I've posted going back a few years featured on various forum threads...........PapaZ

I think Gingindlovu might be an inglorious step too far!

It was inglorious by the very definition. There was no glory in Gingindlovu. It was a hideous 'turkey shoot' much like Ulundi. I do hope WB do not go down the 17th Lancers 'pinsticking' route either.

Let's hope there is no clamour for a Boer War range otherwise people may be wanting concentration camps with Boer women and children.

Hope the month of October is a good one for all as I send along it's calendar........The Lt.

 

[mestell]

Once again Joe, you have provided a nicely photographed and staged monthly calendar for the AZW collectors which I am sure they will all enjoy and many will use . . . .

Seems like the Britain Collectors have fallen asleep in The Land of The Zulus and hopefully a little hand to hand playtime from my end will wake you up............The Lt.

You could be right there Joe, and I'm one of the guilty party:redface2:

Thanks for the wake up call Papa Z, I must get some playtime in.
