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.

Very nice and do keep posting your stuff for inspiration! I've got a small horde of Empress miniatures in inventory and another small horde in the post. 8)

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'!

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

Globa warming? Weren't we told we would all be frazzled and drowned by now? Oh well, the money's rolling into Government coffers....

Thanks for that! As I said elsewhere, probably more than once, these are toys in a game and each one of us rightly chooses our own look! Good luck with yours!
