Trophy - zulu war sets (4 Viewers)

[glossman]

Hi Martyn,

The VC winners released as single figure sets have rather unique "rosy cheeks".

This is in contrast to the VC winners figures issued with the Storehouse sets (and ZS52) that do not feature this.

I do not recall other Trophy figures (other than some ? early figures) to have this facial feature.

Thanks, Raymond.

Hi Raymond

I agree that is very reminisent of the older toy soldier style of painting, I shall ask Len if this was intentional

Hi Martyn,

Marlborough Military Models is quite consistent with this "rosy cheeks" feature, as was Blenheim and some other retired gloss figure manufacturers.

Thanks, Raymond.

ZS61 PRIVATE F. HITCH V.C. 2/24 REGIMENT

This figure can be found in several different sets and various Campaigns but is usually bareheaded, he appears in "Hookey leads them out" wearing a helmet
