Trophy - zulu war sets (1 Viewer)

[GICOP]

GICOP,
Thanks as always for posting pictures of these "Collector's Items". I saw your early Hand to Hand set with the Zulu warrior with spoon utensil in his isicoco and am wondering if Trophy painted these utensils in the headring and earlobe on just the early sets, or more recent as well?
Mike

Hi Mike

I'm not sure of the date of manufacture but they are definitely pre 1995. Here are a few more.

By the way the spoon is not just painted on it is part of the mould

Cheers

GICOP & Lt.,
Can't wait for the reinforcements, Martyn. And thanks to both of you guys for delving in and answering my query about the spoon in icicoco! I think that Joe shows well the same mould from year to year. Too bad these moulds are probably now lost to the ravages of time. Mike

 

[GICOP]

The Royal Artillery have arrived

Great stuff Martyn and Love that RHA set.

I only bought it last week. Today was the first time it had been out of the box since 1991/1992

Just knew Martyn that the set would be in front of the camera shortly after coming out of the box. What a great set and it's great seeing you setting up photo dio's featuring figures by Trophy I've never seen before please keep it up...........The Lt.

One corner of the laager at Gingindlovu.

Here is a shot looking from the laager towards the attacking Zulu. The 60th are on your left holding the north face of the square and the 91st are on your right holding the rear. The Gatling gun from HMS Boadicea is in the centre of the picture. The Mounted Infantry are there along with the NNC. Pipers and a Drummer are playing to encourage the men during the fight.

This is a shot looking from the attacking Zulu.

Cheers

Martyn,
Splendid shots! I am going to wager that you had a little, just a tad, FUN putting this together! Do I win the bet?
