hi all , what would you concider the better of the two in the zulu war series
conte colletables or britains.the reason i ask is i want to start a new diaroma but have only seen britains close up and conte look more realistic but with out compaing the 2 together its hard to tell. with britains there is also lack of dead and dieing figures. any help please



You've answer your own question above rayb an had no doubt you would once you received the first of your Conte sets. Looking forward to seeing your Isandlwand diorama photos and others.........The Lt.

well some of it is down to you LT after seeing what you have done with your dioramas you have inspired me to seekout more figures and not to rely on the 1 manufacture. as a toy soldier collector for many yrs i only purchased britains now my eyes are open . i salute you

Made even more pleasurable I suspect by the good trades on Ebay.

I pointed a good friend in the direction of your lots. As he's still searching for a few of the early "retired" pieces. I think he's reconsidering his options now!

today i recieved my flying zulu and other zulu war conte figures, the detail is amazing even down to the eyes that stand out, im looking forward to posting a few pics on here mostly of my islandawana diorama but i wish conte would speed up there release dates its like waiting for xmas i carnt wait. those collectors who like me collected britains just have a look at contes figures believe me they are FANTASTIC. britains have no comparison yes they are good and have a worldwide market with plenty of new releases (to many in a year) my opinion get it out and sell it fast.but for a couple more quid more i would buy conte thru and thru .king and country watch out
