Title: Zulu Kraals
Post by: ecwcaptain on March 18, 2014, 05:37:16 PM: I thought I saw (somewhere) a post about which resin manufacturer sells (with a link) 25mm size walls for a Zulu kraal (i.e., wooden looking irregular posts vertically in the ground). Any help?

Note that I've made one of these before, but really, not worth it when the resin ones are just plain easier to paint and you're done. :)

In advance -- thanks!

All I could find was the following, which didn't seem to look anything like a kraal:

Personally, I'd go with something like this from Grand Manner:

Post by: ecwcaptain on March 19, 2014, 09:43:46 PM: Thanks for the suggestion for Grand Manner. However, that is for a cattle kraal. What I was looking for was the outer walls to make a large kraal to surround the Zulu huts thus making the entire kraal.

So, looking at the rest of the Grand Manner site, I found what I had seen before -- it's called "Black Thorn Straight (and curved) Coral". That was it, so thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Bob's your uncle!

No probs, glad to be of help :).

Grand Manner is always my first stop for buildings, IMHO Dave makes the best in the business 8).

the question is whether You want to do a Zulu kraal or something generic.
For the first You can esily do research as there are some reconstructed on site in Kwazulu Natal

for the second I find the Grandmanner style useful, since I do not know of examples with posts buried in the ground. Renedra wattle fencing should be helpful too to cover longer stretches
