Hi Mike,
The quick answer is photography. The figures are actually painted a blackish gray.
All the Best,

Ken,
You sold me on at least two sets. More colonial units in the range would increase the odds of divorce but heck , bring 'em on. Thanks . Mike

By the way, has anyone recieved the newest Standard yet? I can't let the cat out of the bag if it hasn't hit you mailboxes yet, but there is a really unique Zulu War opportunity in it.
All the Best,
Ken

I'm getting really curious here..

There has been a significant price increase, 43.00 for a two piece set is now 50.00 for the new releases (at treefrog, but similar at the other vendors).

I just got back from the show at Saddle River and saw some of the new Zulu War sets in glossy and thought they were outstanding, particularly the Zulus. Incredibly nice. Compliments to everybody at Britains.

According to WB ZW cavalry, artillery and new poses are in the future for us glossy collectors.

cheers bud going to be getting 2 more zw gloss figures this week. w britains may take over a bit for me and my display case

 

[Ken & Ericka Osen/H&A Studio]

There were four new Zulu War Classic Gloss held from this supplement so we can offer a nice collection in the Fall. Thanks for the compliments!

There isn't much news in the flyer/Standard, which I received today, but one thing of note is (and Ken hinted at this I believe) a oppertunity to visit Isandlwana with 20 clubmembers. Holt's battlefield tours organises the tour (5 nights @ GPB 2850 eek: that's a lot of toy soldiers)) Ian Knight is your guide, and all meals are included. Visits to isandlwana (you stay at the Lodge there) and Ulundi. It takes place around 22nd January 2009 so you'll be there at the 130th anniversary.

I tell this here because there will be exclusive ZW figure sets for those who attend. Limited to just 20 pieces.
I'm not too fond of sets only a few (happy few) can get hold of but that's just me .

And to think those guys finally morphed into the KZN Road Traffic Police 125 years later.
