"Zulus, Thasands of 'em!"
« on: March 12, 2009, 09:17:33 AM »
Well, not quite ~ yet...

I've started work on a small Zulu War project, using 28mm figures from Empress Miniatures. First up, some Zulus, naturally.
I've also got some 80th Staffordshire Volunteers underway now.
There is a new Album in the Photo Gallery section of my site for the Zulu War to record my progress....

This project is on The list too, but not this year, methinks  :(

Figs look great.

Hi David,

Just a quick question; did you use the Empress miniatures painting guide for the Zulus?

My friend Drew has a number of Zulus that I've permission to paint and was just after your thoughts on painting Zulus.

Thankyou,

Helen
Best wishes,
Helen

Very well done!  I love the colonial era and the wargamming for it.  Makes me want to purchase some minis right now, keep it up!
