The painted plastics of the Brit and a minor conversion...The Lt.

That 'minor conversion' makes the figure look ten times better imho. Really.

And these finish off the Conte ZW collection.

Now that is what I call "Good Zulus"

 

[eborris]

Looks like somebody finished them off alright.

Looking forward to seeing some of painted and converted figures Sergeant-Major that you've done along with the progress of the Rorke's Drift Diorama once you start building it. No need to apologize for sharing the above and it's nice knowing others are as hooked on the Zulu War as I am ....The Lt.

ZW Pre-orders; In the light of recent developments and releases in other ranges; how wise is it to pre-order from Conte?

Is it advised or even neccesary (like with the Figarti camo V2)? Or could I wait for one of the larger retailers to list them in the pre-order section ??

Good question. I am going to sit on the fence. Hope I do not fall off

 

[Mister Dave]

I think I am going to wait and hope to see them in Chicago this Fall.

So if that is Conte time, what is that in our time????

 

[eborris]

I think there is a good chance you will see metal Zulu War guys before we see plastic Spartans. Just a hunch.

Could be, we might see them together if you can believe the sale discussion.

The good folks at Conte contacted me two days ago offering me the chance to preorder these terrific looking sets, which I am sure they did with all of their Conte retailers; I put my order in today, so we'll see when they actually show up here at MMTS, can't wait to get them as between these and the Britains figures, The Zulu War is now well represented in Matte finish................
