Wonderful display but a question..in all the british soldiers produced by WBritain i don't see any nco or officer..am i right?And why?Why don't produce for example Col.Srgt.Bourne or a Corporal?Waiting for Dalton , Bromhead or Chard..

I have faith that WBritain has in mind to provide us with the above as the series grows. Colour-Sgt. Bourne has already been done in gloss by WB for Modelzone and may also be planned for a figure in matte sometime in the future. I'm sure the above are being considered by Richard and Ken......The Lt.

I'm now reading Rorke's Drift by Adrian Greaves and i'm full of admiration for Dalton the man who really put the defence of the mission on his shoulders..and it's funny the mistake about the person of Adendorf which in the film Zulu is an hero but in the real version of the facts simply bolted before the fighting ...the myth is due to a mistake of person in the report of Chard if i recall..the real Adendorf was a certain Atwood..

The subject of Adendorf's bolting the Drift has been highly debated with most reflecting he stayed. Greaves provided a wealth of knowledge of those who took part during the event and well worth the read and price. Dalton in the movie Zulu was the unsung hero for his actual contribution to the defence of the Drift. He's also one of my heros..........The Lt.

Yes i was unfair to Adendorf..even Greaves justifies him ...he escaped Isandlwana , maybe only a super hero could stand what with all the probabilities could have been another massacre..and as you say the witnesses reports conflict on the presence of Adendorf..i really like the structure of the book , is clear and coincise (without being too "thin" on the facts) with plenty of documents and appendix..then ..let's wait Dalton and some more Redcoats in shirt (another point that i found interesting is the ripping of the coats to wrap the gun barrels hot for the uninterrupt shooting..it was a great fault of the Martini Henry...the wooden stock didn't cover the metal barrel..and so the burning of the fingers and hands were frequent)!

Nice shot Lt.

Looking forward to seeing what Richard and Ken have in store for us in hand to hand sets. While waiting here's my first until then.........The Lt.

Great news eh Mike, save me from sending you my hospital and also save you all that work from chopping it to bits

It will definitely save me time, money and aggravation from sneaking over our national border in the dead of night, dressed in all black, with only NVG to rely on for bearings!

I am assuming you are refering to the NY/NJ border.

Adding another round to his Martini-Henry after downing a Zulu Warrior....The Lt.

Nice new figures in matte! Just as long as WB isn't forgetting the glossies.

I'm sure they haven't Joachim and hopefully they've more Zulu Warriors on the way the Brit's currently outnumber them. Speaaking of which here's four of them looking to wash their spears..........The Lt.
