Title: Zulu war cavalry converted from Perry ACW plastics
Post by: Brian Smaller on 14 March 2016, 12:52:28 AM

and other bits and pieces.

My first and probably last attempt at this - mind you...some Frontier Light Horse might be possible.

Nicely done! I have a few ACW figures around so I think I'll have a try at converting a few for my Colonial forces.

I have used Confederate cavalry figures, with only a few alterations, as Boer mounted units they can be made to look remarkably accurate.

I as thinking same - I have plenty of Boer infantry (Black Tree Designs) but no mounted Boer. I saw a nice conversion of plastic ACW cavalry into Frontier Light Horse as well.

I was thinking of using some to do Natal Mounted Native Contingent. I have plenty of bits from my Warlord plastic NNC left over.
