Martyn,
A sincere thank you! I love the depth of the scene. You really pull it off facing the figures away, while we all have them front and center! I don't think they need any practice in Pearson's Column. Didn't a young bombardier get mentioned in dispatches for landing a couple right into some homesteads? These, as you well know, are the ancestors of the current MLRS platforms of today!
Mike

Now if we could have had that at Isandlwana

Cheers

Following on from the disaster at Isandlwana where Major Russell’s Rocket Battery had only managed to fire 1 or 2 rockets before being overwhelmed the order is given for more practice before the march to relive Fort Eshowe. Here three 9 pr Hale’s Rockets are about to be demonstrated to a group of Army and Navy officers

And Scott in the event you hadn't noticed he also acquired a set or two or three of WBritain's mealie bag walls which he's had the Trophy Defenders behind them in front of his Commissary Storehouse and the newer sets shown in the report from the Mich Show I'm sure will push him over the edge....The Lt.

LOl no I don't have it but I wouldn't mind getting one. Trouble is postage and duties.

 

[The Lt.]

Martyn if I'm not mistake Jagdpanter has the set and was very pleased with it. It's one piece set of figures that are not removeable from the mealiebag wall. I'm sure they'll blend in nicely with yourmealiebag walls very nicely.................The Lt.

I think the Zulus got upset when they found out that Company C were cheering for the Cardinals. The Zulus are well known Steeler fans.

 

[thebritfarmer]

The Zulus are on their way.

Looks like an unfortunate ending for this poor chap as the Zulu begin to close in.
