All of the figures of the in the last two post with the exception of the Zulus noted by you are by Little Legion. There's no doubt in my mind that you'll make the Zulu's stand out and looking forward to seeing them and here's another photo of figures by LL....The Lt.

Back from the weekend with the gf. Will start finishing some of the Zulus after work tonight!

Hopefully your well rested and looking forward to the photos. The fighting continues at the Drift as Private Bush (not George) receives a wound in the nose caused by a by a bulletwhich pass through Private Cole Killing him. You'll note the figures are in the Gloosy finish The Kilted Vampire favors....The Lt.

Lt., from that angle, the Zulus spear seems to be in jepardy, shoot the man, not the weapon. Mike

Thanks for the glossy photos Joe. Some figures are done I have about eleven to go. Includes some of those unpainted Imperials. How really unique to find them that way. I will do a photo record of their progress. The figures you sent me Joe I have completed five of them. Who made them? Really nice. Some of them have painted up well. Haven't done any of the 24th though.

Those are photos of early K&C Zulus, a 24th Foot Officer and Red Coated Seaforths produced between 1987 and 1996. The building is a K&C buildings made of wood, plaster and papier mache produced in 1995. Here's a quote from the book about the building:

"In 1995, a Zulu War burning farmhouse (Roarkes Drift) was produced. This wood building was well constructed with real wood detail pieces such as shutters and a window ledge. The roof was also constructed of wood, cut away and painted to appear as a burning thatch roof. The walls of the building were covered with plaster on which individual stones were etched and painted. This building, designated ZWF1, retailed for $128."

Kevin glad you posted the photos I've always enjoyed them and hope you have a few more on the way and along with Modwall a few more close up photos of the Hospital would be great. Louis thanks for the info you provided on the figures and building I've always appreciate your input. Joe (aka The Lt.)
