Captain Fredrick Burnaby (2 Viewers)

[The Lt.]

Received the Captain hand delived by Modwalls pick up from from Crown Military Miniatures and couldn't wait to share him. Once again another figure that John can be very proud of and as you'll note I've quickly featured the figure as a British Officer on the field of Isandlwana. He's a great add to which can be play with in the Sudan as well as in the Land of the Zulus. Hopefully those of you who will be adding him to your collection will share your photos of him on this thread......The Lt.

Joe, at least this is a fair fight, sword against club instead of the usual gun at 10 paces, nice figure, thanks for showing, cheers, Robin.

I don't ever want to be in a fair fight. I'll take any advantage I can get. -- Larry

Re: Captain Fredrick Burnby

Glad you like Burnby's appearance Martyn, Michael, Robin and Larry he's such a great figure. And Michael I'm looking forward to seeing you joining the thread featuring him in one of your Sudan Dio's as well as you Robin. In the mean time I've return him to the Land of the Zulus as an officer of the 24th Foot providing him with a little help from a General's Son.............The Lt.

A nice addition to your Land of the Zulus Joe. Look like he is holding his own so far.

He's got a little help Scott and as you'll see he blends in as well with the WBritan figures as he dose with Conte..............The Lt.

While waiting for photo from the London Show I thought I'd share some earlier playtime with my Burnaby figure featuring him as a British Officer standing beside Lt. Durnford making their last stand and as another British Officer along side of a General's Son in the thick of it and last featuring him as the Prince Imperial Nepoleon Eugene about to meet his end in the hands of the attacking Zulus.......The Lt.
