Here we have a vignette representing a Royal Navy Gatling Gun from the Zulu War crewed by Royal Marines etc.
All figures are from Irregular Miniatures, some converted or with details added. For example the RM Officer.

The dog fighting with the 4x2 rifle cleaning cloth is by Tradition.
They probably didn't use 4x2 with the Martini Henry, just my sense of humour from cleaning .303s for years since age 13. Just a whimsical personal touch.

Please note that one rating has no white lines and light blue collar as according to some sources not all ratings had the coloured collar in the Zulu War.

Al paints used were Jo Sonjas or Army Painter acrylic paints over a Humbrol undercoat.

Original dio with a fun theme. Very nice. Please keep it up!

Thank you Paddy

I am very conscious, being an ex soldier of 9 years, that military life is much more than parades and fighting.
And I enjoy injecting a touch of humanity when I can into what I am doing.
