Poor sod. March thirteen thousand miles from Natal to England only to get knocked on the head and lose all your stuff.  :)

He ran, RAN thirteen thousand miles and then fought a battle at the end of it!

lol Well he's not running any more. No longer a Zulu, but a dead bricklayer from Bridgenorth, fallen in some bloody meadow...

So here are the four dead newbies painted and decorated, to provide 'daunted' markers for 'Billhooks'...
I've eschewed the blood and gore on these figures. I think it's enough that they're dead. Or sleeping. Awkwardly.









I've also slightly refurbed the original three I made about 10 (?) years ago, when the first box of Perry plastic WOTR figures appeared... Here they all are together:







Reckon I need another three to be on the safe side... More soon...

Excellent stuff  :-* :-* :-*

I love the kit bashed 'Zulu'. It very much reminds me of the forensic facial reconstruction from one on the skeletons found at the Towton Hall site.

I think the team added hair eventually  ???

Really wonderful!

Now THAT is how to sell the 'no card tokens and chits' philosophy.




By the way, for some reason, 'Bridgnorth' does not have an 'e' in it. I have complained about this to Shropshire Council at some length and asked them to get one, but they don't listen. :)

What they said, fantastic work all round - the posing, the painting, all of it.

I especially like the new ones, I think they actually look more realistic without the gore.  8)
