There's just no stopping you, is there? The Zulu War certainly seems to be experiencing something of a renaissance at the moment (not that it ever really went away - it's simply "even more here" than it was before).

Keep them coming, David. I'm following your efforts with a keen interest, and fighting a valiant rearguard action against the temptation to join in.

The Sgt pointing is my favourite, great stuff as usual. :)

Anybody who can paint the stripes that well on a whole unit deserves praise. Very nice.

No! On both counts.
I will never buy and paint plastic figures, no permanence or weight to them.
No plans for more Zulus either, just recycle the 'Late Zulus'!

Good stuff!

I'm painting these in 6mm but may move up to this scale in future.

If ever you need uniform info on lesser irregular auxilliary units drop me a pm mate.

Cheers
