Gee Lt., those were some brave war correspondents! I'm not even going to ask how they got behind Zulu lines, but how did they survive getting trampled by those 17th Lancers?

Men from the HMS Shah have supplies for the Lt.. Upon hearing the devastating new of Isandhlwana, the Captain of HMS turned around from a homeward journey, against orders, to lend some much needed help to Lord Chelmsford by landing a several hundred bluejackets, Gatling guns and artillery near Durban. This launch crew has supplies on board and is looking for a dart through the surf to reach the beach on the Natal Coast
(Pedigree-repainted Dorset crew from Crimea series and carved out ex-sailing hull) The ratings from the Shah were the only members of the Naval Brigade in the Zulu War to wear straw tennet hats with the ship name stitched on a blue wrap around the rim. Mike

That looks seriously good Mike. The LT will be pleased that supplies are on the way. Can I ask what you used to create the water?

Cheers

Scott,
Appreciate it "Magic water" is what its called... and blue testors enamel mixed with silicone at about 14' DEEP. I even included Jersey Shore sand on the beach side! Mike

 

[plasmapulse]

Agreed that the water does look amazing. Nice trivia as well.

 

[theBaron]

Yes, nicely done on the water, there, Mike! The Jersey beach sand is a nice touch, too. I get mine at Ocean City. Just watch out for the needles!

Prost!

Hey, Hey, Hey Brad! No medical wastage here. Finely sequestered via kid's pail and shovel. I'll post another picture when I can of the water . It looks great from above. I'm thinking of an Indianapolis diorama theme Mike

lol

I thought I saw a dentist in boat behind the whaleboat, with some garbage bags, what a chucklehead that guy was!

An Indianapolis dio would be cool, don't forget Quint--"I'll never put on a life jacket again!"

Prost!

Brad, Scott, Joachim, Joe and Friends,
Here is another shot of the HMS supply launch. I wish you could see it in real life. I love it and only took a couple hours. I can also use it for any other beach/surf scenes. I did homogenize, pasteurize and sterilize the NJ shore beach sand at Brad's request. Mike

 

[thebritfarmer]

Great shot Mike.......looks like it's "full steam" ahead to LT's zululand with the supplies. Fantastic job !!!

I like the 1st photo for it's over all effect.......The Lt.
