Last Stand of The 24th (2 Viewers)

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!

I understand, it was just an idea thrown out there. In no way do I want to get in the way of your Boer War releases. I've been waiting ages for a company to produce a matte line.
Besides, the 24th Foot Last Stand grouping looks fantastic.
 
Just looking at you marvellous photos I also collect all things zulu war , but dont recognise the mounted officer on the right of the Thomas gunn lancer officer , on the darker horse , which manufacturer is/was he , he looks like another lancer officer

please advise

At Isandlwana all the survivors got going before the battle reached it’s pitch which pretty much makes everything conjecture. Also the authorities were sensitive to allowing too much information into the public domain. Compare the amount of photographs to what the American public were to see of their civil war which was 15 years earlier. The Washing of the spears tells us of 12 year old drummer boys having their throats slit while other accounts will say the youngest drummers were at least 17. The British army never took boys on active service after Isandlwana. In Fripps painting an anxious drummer boy tugs the arm of a fatherly n.c.o. to point out an advancing warrior. Perhaps a drummer boy would be a good addition to TG’s last stand of the 24th.

Conte released a very nice set some years ago as part of their Zulu War series.

Brilliant. A long walk to Australia for this guys however, no flights. Robin.
 
The new 24th figures arrived yesterday. The detail and painting is very good. Works well with Britains.
I'm hoping the new Zulus will be as good
