Len from time to time which I'm sure provide slightly different figures posed and painted in his hand to hand sets as time went by. Here's examples of HZ5 and HZ5A.......The Lt.

Martyn,
Sure helps...Must be the wrong box that it came in! Now I have two HZ13s!!
That shako plato on Chard does look similiar to my "13th" 24th Officer...maybe he picked up a RE plate at the Commissary by accident!

Just out of curiosity did Trophy ever supply castings? I suspect no.

Martyn, didn't really think there would be any castings released by Trophy so I wonder where these Boxer Rebellion figures came from? Shame there's only 3 of them. I don't do ebay, but if you buy them I'll paint them.

Thanks for those wonderful pictures. On the HZ5 set that I thought I had,
I did NOt do a proper investigation, nad research the sites/photos you gave me. It is unusual for me to be this way, but I did win the Pinewood Derby
Many...

The local cricket pitch near Lord Chelmsford’s camp at Pietermaritzburg is used for bayonet practice before the invasion of Zululand begins.

Nice adaptation and use of ZS49-Fix Bayonets! Now we need the Butcher running at the privates so they can show off their Krav Maga skills!

Martyn,
The set had that many guys in it? Looks like a huge, magnificent set!

Great figures Martyn. They certainly do bring a smile to ones face. I think the Trophy figures have a cheeky faced look to them, probably one of their endearing qualities I shouldn't wonder.

Hi Mike

I think they are from at least 2 sets, the "early" and "late" versions, hence the use of "sets" (plural) in my description

But it could have been the one off "Special" set made just for yours truly and now worth loadsa money

Cheers

Martyn,
Is it an illusion, or can you tell the older ones by the faces and thinner bases?
Also, your subaltern has a chip off on his base, rendering the entire set(s) pretty much worthless. Please send the junk set to me for disposal.

Hi Mike

The chip was received in combat and therefore adds to the value

The older set figures are thinner, more of the style of old Britains, the newer Post 1990 have a chunkier figure.

Again if it helps track down those elusive figures here are 2 different horse handlers, same horse

Nice batch of photos Martyn and I sure you'll agree that the older sets were waring the later edition of the Foreign Service Helmet. Had to make a slight ajustment to this photo that you posted on the Diodrama thread......The Lt.
