What a lovely morning treat as I enjoy my coffee Martyn & Joe

I got Dunkin Donuts coffee for the first time in a while, and the Lt's and Martyn's setups have me in total contentment!!! Bagpipers?!?!
Mike

Thanks Mike and Scott.

Agreed Mike, you can beat a drum but you can't beat a good set of Pipers

Cheers

Martyn

Hi Lt.,

Thanks very much for the great shot.

The 24th has taken quite a beating from the Zulu today.

The new mat looks great.

Best, Raymond.

Hello Martyn,

This is a grand set of pictures of Lord Chelmsford and his staff officers reviewing his troops.

It is great to have the bagpipers included in the march pass.

Thanks very much,

Cheers, Raymond.

Oh, and by the way, My Lord, the heliograph team reports Pearson as
stating..."It's about bloody time, Freddie!"

Martyn, Great pics and figures as always.

Who are the two mounted figures next to Longcast? Are they other Boer scouts? Are they from a set or were they seperate?

Hi Chuck

They are indeed a couple of early Trophy figures, one is a Boer scout and the other an officer with the Natal Native Contingent

Glad you like them

With the famous reply "Get the kettle on I will only be an hour or two just passing a strangely named Zulu hamlet called Gingindhlovu"

Martyn, have you ever considered repairing/repainting the rifle. I think that it would be a easy repair. I know from experience that Humbrol enamels match most Trophy well. Just a thought.
