Lost pictures, found (1 Viewer)

[GICOP]

Here are a few pictures that I thought had been lost forever

They feature TROPHY AZW figures with about 10 DORSET wounded Zulu’s, 3 LITTLE LEGION figures, the KINGCAST "Saving the Flag" set, one IMPERIAL figure "Zulu Chief on horse back" and a couple of figures of unknown manufacture.

The buildings are from John Gittins plus a Rorke’s Drift Storehouse also of unknown manufacture.

Cheers

Martyn,
Great! I'll take the whole lot! Just box em up and ship on over, I'll reimburse you for ... labor only.
Is it still up, or did I recall that this was from years ago? Also, run me the story of why you asked Len to paint them grey. I keep reading stories from the men that returned to Isandlwana in May/June that the wagons were "as green as the day they were painted" I have this from Montague, and a diary of a mounted colonial. Just wondering if the Coastal Column was different.
Enjoying every post!
Mike

Those colonials were all unreconstructed liars and all round bounders. I would not believe a word of what they said.

Hi Damian and Mike

The display came down about 4 years ago to be replaced by K&C WW2.

Thank you for the very tempting offer Mike, good to know who your friends are, but I will have to decline

Ref: the colour of the wagons

I can't find the book/books that gave reference to the colour but be assured I have it somewhere, I thought the pictures had been lost forever until this afternoon so I will turn it up one of these days. Now could some of the "green" ones be requisitioned civilian types?

Cheers

Martyn

Absolutely. Over on the RDVC forum there is much discussion on that.

Always,

What a great collection Martyn, glad I got to see it. Now box up those K&C figures and get those Trophy figures back on the shelves. However, you will be allowed to keep any K&C tank can on the shelf.

That is an option I have considered, I need to take a few pictures of the K&C sets that reside there at the moment
