Title: 28mm Martini Henry Rifle...
Post by: Harry Faversham on 06 February 2015, 02:33:17 PM
Does anyone manufacture spare rifles? I'm doing a vignette of a British Sergeant shielding a drummer boy in some forlorn last stand. I've got the figures and a drum with a spear stuck in it. Seeing as how the thin red line's broken I wanted to add a discarded Martini Henry rifle to the groundwork.

Empress Miniatures or Redubt Miniatures both have packs of 28mm Martini Henry rifles in their Zulu War ranges.

"Corporal!"

"Sir!"

"Take Mr. Faversham out and shoot 'im."

"Sir?"

"Twice Corporal, in the melon, there's a good chap, carry on."

"Sir!"

BANG! BANG!

I've been at this game for over forty years now, and will be very good when I finally get the 'ang of it... I ordered the original figures from Empress Miniatures!!!

They do them separate packs?????  :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X

I can't find them anywhere on the Empress site.... I reckon the Redoubt Martini Henry's will be a fair size bogger than the Perry and Empress versions(?)

I certainly hope so, they would come is ever so handy for both my Xhosa and Sudan campaigns, but I have a feeling that I'm going to be disappointed.....  :-X I hope that I'm mistaken.....

Athers, old top, I went on Redoubt's website and put 'Martini Henry Rifle' in the search bar and found them... those Empress helmets look spot on for my little vignette.
