Zulu War Suggestion (Saving the Colours) (1 Viewer)

[WeekendWarrior]

I understand that some of the manufacturers occasionally read these forums, and after rewatching Zulu Dawn I had an interesting idea for a potential vignette Britains could produce... Why not produce a vignette/set of COL Pulleine and his staff handing off the Colours to LTs Melvill and Coghill before their famous ride? Could make a great centerpiece for any Isandlwana diorama.

As an actively serving US Army combat arms officer, I fully admit that it's unlikely that these events transpired in such a sense but nonetheless it's a romanticized event that has become part and parcel of Anglo-Zulu War lore.

Would anyone else be interested in such a set?

agree with you, there is also so much more that can be done as vingettes,
hand to hand combat set with 3 figures on single base, 2 zulu attacking 24 th foot, or like contes old Trioni set 2 large dioramas with zulus and 24th at barricades, that joining to make one very large one,

the single figures have become , mean this in a ice way boring, they need something great like there older sets

Ahh to dream the impossible dream, but it would be nice to see some iconic pieces all the same. Robin.
