Come over and bring a jack hammer with you in your hand luggage and we'll get it sorted.  I can lay my hands on some industrial strength flexible piping......

I'd love to but my cash flow at the moment suggests I'd fit better in Cyprus.  ::)

Thanks people, your wish is my command:

Work in progress on the buildings.  Lots of fiddly work, but worth it:

These are the last of B Company, with NCOs and drummers at the front.





Commissariat (including Dalton)





Four Royal Artillery men that were at Rorkes Drift





A mounted volunteer, he'll only be used to kick the game off and then will ride on and leave Rorkes Drift!





Native porters (who'll probably run off)





Natal Native Pioneers (ditto)



A Zulu "marksman"

Gorgeous stuff...having a hard time talking myself out of saving up for those 4Ground buildings (although for use in an Old West setting).  They're absolutely awesome.  :-*  I'd love to play a Rorke's Drift game sometime.  Zulu was one of the films I grew up on.

To this day, my buddies and I will subconsciously mutter "Hitch...you're alive...I saw you.". :D

They are lovely, but you'll probably have to tile the roofs if you aren't using them for Mexico or something?

Some unmarried Zulu skirmish bases, all this lot are Warlord/Empress based on Warbases laser cut bases:
