Martyn,
I am waiting in caffeine-induced antiicipation for more of the Eshowe relief column!!!!!! I am reading Norris-Newman's autobiography and just finished the relief with the pipers of the 91st and the 60th KRRC arriving at the mission station and the welcome they received from the besieged Pearson et al. Very timely and a great battle of the coast! Thank you so much for the pictures of these fine men and boys! Mike

Hi Mike

Excellent book.

[the 999th]

Great sets GICOP,

Particularly like that drummer and the pipers.

Was the drummer ever on general release i.e. as part of the 24th?

If so, do you know the set number? The command set I have has a bugler being shot and a mounted officer looking through binoculors

Hi the 999th

Glad you like the Pipers and drummer.

After Len at Trophy had agreed to paint the sets of British Regiments present at the Battle of Gingindlovu for me I looked through the Trophy catalogue for figures that could be painted to represent soldiers that were not available within the Trophy Zulu War range.

I found the Pipers and drummer in the “HIGHLAND BRIGADE ON PARADE IN CAMPAIGN DRESS” series and had the figures painted to represent the 91st.

The Pipers and drummer can be found in these sets:

Set no.HP3 or HP3/V ( Pipers)
Set no.HP4 (Drummers)

Cheers

Here is the OX WAGON on route to camp

The other wagons have arrived and need unloading.

Everything must be checked off

The horses need feeding before the men

But the men need a drink, not the “hard stuff” that is under armed guard

Thirsty work opening the crates

Cheers

Martyn

 

[GICOP]

Now that the unloading is finished the men can eat

Waiting for the fresh bread, eggs and sausages

Almost ready

The butcher checks his stock

Spud bashing is thirsty work

Clean, tidy and no where to go but fight the Zulu

Cheers

Martyn

Hi Martyn,

What an beautiful series of Trophy sets! Obviously, you have an amazing collection and I am enjoying viewing every piece! Thank you for posting these incredible pictures.

Warmest personal regards,

Pat

Wow Martyn,

When ever you post new pics there is always something that replaces my favourite from the last round of pictures. In this lot I don't know what to choose as this is more of my type of toy soldier collecting. Camp life parades etc....

Thanks for sharing more of your wicked Trophy collection.

Scott

 

[GICOP]

Many thanks Scott and Pat for your kind comments

Cheers

Hi Joe

Glad you continue to enjoy the pictures and thank you for your kind remarks.

The answer to your question is yes, these are all brand new pictures taken this afternoon and yes the thrill is still very much there. When I open some of the boxes with no info on the outside, it is almost like Xmas not knowing what I will find inside. I have decided that over the next couple of weeks I am going to have to make a serious list of every set.

Cheers

Martyn,
More nice sets for us to enjoy and use as reference! I'm with Scott in particularly being fond of the Camp life and unusual sides of The Queen's Men on Campaign. This last batch is very interesting, in that they are quite rare to begin with. I recognize some of the molds/figures and even have a couple, but not the complete sets that you enjoy. Thank you for making our days a little brighter Mike

What a spectacular collection. While I have a few basic Zulu War figures, I had no idea of the scope and detail of the Trophy offerings. What a shame they no longer produce. -- lancer
