No zulu wars diorama on the forum ? (1 Viewer)

[ForzaToro]

Hello, i've just bought some ( fantastic ) zul pieces , really impressive ! I've not found on the forum diorama, photoes or deep discussion about. Has anyone photoes about it ?
And do you think the zul line will grow up in the next future ?
Another information... how many pieces per item do they produce ( approx ) ? Being new with FL , I don't know how and how many pieces they produce.
Thank you !

I like this post, but it also makes me sad.............

I remember the first time I saw that diorama in the old magazine Military Modeler out of the Uk; was just a kid then, but wow, it was stunning to see it.

Got me all fired up for Zulus and 24th Foot; why Airfix never covered this subject was beyond me, would think it would be a natural for them...............

Yes, it is located in the Anglo-Zulu War Room of the Regimental Museum of the Royal Welsh in Brecon

Here are some images I took last year when we were touring in Wales.

This is their website and well worth a visit if you are even in that area.

Beautiful diorama indeed, did someone try to do a smaller one with FL pieces ?

 

[Mirof]

I found a picture of a small vignette I made with those Sanderson figures some 42 years ago ( painted with Humbrol ) my first steps in painting

Fantastic pictures and the film was the cherry on the cake!
The way it was filmed you can actually see the red line, the advance of the horns and the line being breeched.....well then all was history...sound track helped a lot in giving the sense of movement and dispair....{sm3}
Congrats....
Cheers
