Look great all grouped together.

Very nice looking figures!!!

 

[Nicholas V Hall]

They look fantastic and a bit different. Any more Zulus on the way please?

One new Zulu this month, 2 more next month hopefully. Details to follow in newsletter but we hope to do more later in the year.

I noticed the 24th Foot loading bears a striking resemblance to Lt. Melvill. Any chance of reproducing that look in a mounted officer carrying the Queen's Colour?

Really nice looking figures.

Hell yes. As a historical sidenote there is a very good chance that all three Colours at the Camp saw some type of action in the fight. Lt. Melvill VC lost his life saving the Colour of the 1/24th, a Zulu Warrior remembered seeing a Colour (one of the ones belonging to the 2/24th flying over a last rally ostensibly on the Nek) and an eyewitness and physical evidence points to a second attempt to save the Colours by a tall Officer on a chestnut horse that culmonated near the Manzimnyama Stream where the last of the Infantry was brought to bay.

It would be nice if the officer holding the flag could come with a regimental flag as well. Two different sets or interchangeable flags. I would pay the the extra money for the regimental flag.

Is that the Queen's colors depicted here?

Always been a big fan of the Zulu range, but never dipped me toe into that pool.

Looking at these new guys I may yet take the plunge.

Great figures TG!

Yes, which Lt. Melvill rode with out of the camp. Right after the TG officer handed it to him.
The regimental colour was left in the camp.

Now comes the hard part, the journey to my house. Robin.

 

[Sentaapua]

I don’t collect outside wwii and Vietnam, but I must say that these are great figures! Congratulations TGM!

 

[marco55]

I haven't collected anything from TGM except the FIW figures but their products are excellent.A class operation.

If I HAD to hazard a guess, I'd say the figure could well be Lt. Dyer, found in a last rally behind the 1/24th camp. Not too far from where a Colour belt was found. And where a Zulu warrior saw a man waving a flag.

Well i like TG Scramble for Africa series, so these can find home amongst this lot^&grin, Robin.

Thanks for the pictures Robin, I am glad we have inspired you to keep collecting this series.

Will see how these sell first before we commit to more Tommys, got the Zulus to make next plus the Boer war series is going to take up a fair bit of this years capacity.
The winter Panzer 4 will be here soon and we also have 2 other tanks in the pipeline, but we do try to please so you never know plus its a great idea!
