Title: Help Wanted - Rorkes Drift
Post by: Eric the Shed on September 21, 2016, 09:48:26 AM

Good Morning All

I wondered if anybody can help me. I am looking for the ground layout and building layout of the Rorkes Drift as depicted in the movie Zulu.

As I am sure you are aware the actual battleground in history was different to that of the movie.

As part of my Zulu War project I want to build the movie set version not the real one. For example the movie set featured the chapel (complete with cross on the roof). If anybody can help I'd be very grateful.

PS I watched the movie again last night and took several stills of the buildings but just need to get the general configuration

thank you
