Terence,

I must say that this is rather impressive, is it scratch built? and what make of figures are they?

Thanks Terrence for providing Jeff with your photos of your Rorke's Drift Diorama and thank you Jeff for posting them. Welcome aboard Terrence and it's nice knowing of another who has figures presiding in the Land of The Zulus. Jeff the majority of the figures that are featured in the Diorama are from Frontline and Terrance will have to provide us the info on the others. ? Terrence can you tell me who provided the background for your diorama which you've done a great job in putting in creating. Thank you again for sharing it.....The Lt.

Terrence,

I really enjoyed your diorama and I think the backdrop is perfect. The staging captures the chaos of the battle - lots to look at for the interested eye.

Great Job!

Hi Joe,

I think that the background is from JG Miniatures.

Thanks aujj65 for posting the pics its very kind of you.
The dio measurers 4'x2'x1'. I couldnt make a full 1/32 scale dio of the whole Rorkes Drift perimeter as I dont have the space. It would have been very big.
So i settled for making the buildings almost 1/32. They are scratch built made from card, balsa wood and a dry grass for the thatch from my garden.
The terrain is mainly earth mixed wit PVA glue and the stones are garden variety as is the grass.
Ive used some scenics grass clumps too.
The background poster by JG Miniatures is 3x3' posters cut and pasted to make the back ground. I needed 6' of poster to do this. I coulnt find a longer and wider one any where.
The figures are mainly frontline, including their VC winners set, as is the cart.
Ive added 10 figures by Tradition that I painted.
To finish it completely I need to add the mealie bag wall and some more dead zulus.
Best Wishes to everybody.
