You need a cheetah on a pole now, with some bearers.

Looking good,  :)
I've received mine, but not sure when I'm going to get round to painting him.
Great figure, very chunky though.

Great looking figure and a really nice paint job.

How does this miniature fit in with scale compared to Empress?

Cheers Nick, was fun to paint.

Hi Colin,

 The figure overshadows the Empress range to be honest but its such a lovely sculpt i had to paint one up. Have you seen the Ladies new Zulu personalities set? Theres Hook, Chard Bourne and Bromhead as portrayed by the movie stars and they are really nice and the historic versions are coming soon i believe.

cheers Tim

Oh, anyone know a source for bearers and hanging lepoards? lol

Cool stuff, I'd touch up around the base just to finish it off.

The model is very nice, as others have said, a bit chunky. But the sculptor generally does heroic 28mm, or 33mm...  :)

Yeah i need to finish the base for definite. It is a large figure but i bought a couple as display items really, one for me , another for my mate who is a dedicated Zulu fan. Thanks for all the kind comments chaps!

Well yeah!

It is whatever floats your boat, there a no rights or wrongs.  :) Especially when it comes to the scale of display pieces.
