My Zulu War Collection (1 Viewer)

[WeekendWarrior]

Here are a few shots of my AZW collection as I currently have them displayed (on a bookshelf due to lack of space). I have a few vignettes set up; Durnford's last stand, Younghusband's charge, G Company's last stand, etc. Also included is a shot of my four British Martini Henry .577/.450 rifles.

I've always been passionate about this period of history, having a descendant who fell with the 24th at Isandhlwana.

Great. I would print off a background even if were a sky scene and attach to the rear wall, just to set the figures off a little more. Robin.

Papa Zulu !! It was Joe that got me started with the Britains series. Still collecting them to this day.

Excellent. I am thinking of buying a Martini Henry rifle.

Joe was an inspiration to all the Zulu collectors...
also very knowledgeable on the subject and an extremely likable gentleman...
I personally coined that moniker for him (Papa Zulu)...
so fitting...and it caught on...
I sorely miss him Scott...
