Two guys/ ansers? I bought these seperately




Ansar with the banner from set DS 47, I can't find a reference to the drummer but I think I have seen it somewhere.

We who are about to fight Salute you!!! And will proceed to make your life quite miserable until this fine set you describe is posted in all it's glory!

Sorry boys, forgot which thread I had posted this story on

There are some very noticeable differences between the early and late set
INCIDENT AT ISANDHLAWANA

Early set

Later set

To start with the wagon’s

Early version

Later version

Then the figures

Officer 24th Foot, the older figure is on the left

Private 24th Foot, the older figure has one arm resting on the barrel

Zulu, the older figure has a knobkerrie

The shot Zulu is the same in each set except for the paint job

Martyn,
Ongoing & perpetual thanks for posting. Was the early version your custom request in grey versus the green? They both look great!

Hi Mike

Glad you like the pictures, I think this set does show considerable changes over the years.

I did indeed ask Len to paint this ambulance grey, I'm glad I did as I have a nice contrast now between grey and green equipment sets.

It is interesting to note that Len had the wagons featured in set's BD4 and BD5 painted grey as standard.

Cheers

Martyn,
Many thanks, and you are 100% in the money! Great contrast and uniqueness with the two together.

Spot the difference

There is a major difference between the figures, can anyone tell me what it is?

Martyn,
The Martini-Henry on the left is unloaded, the middle MH is loaded, and the right is jammed!

Resin or Metal bases

 

[lancer]

The only thing I see is minor paint differences on the grass bases (shade) and the possible backside loin clothe on the far left figure APPEARS to be dark brown as oppossed to tan on the center and right hand figures. Otherwise, I see nothing. -- lancer

 

[GICOP]

Thanks for your replies

The answer is the middle one, all the pieces just lock together they are not fixed.

The set is almost a mini BD9 “THE SPEARS ARE WASHED”
