Anyone make Bell Tents?
« on: August 14, 2009, 05:41:17 AM »
Does anyone make resin bell tents in 28mm in the style that would have been used
by the British Army during the Zulu War?  Also would this same style tent have also
been used in the Sudan and other colonial periods?

Empress Miniatures are working on one now. We rejected the original we made as not good enough  :'(

Hopefully it will be available by the end of September.

Ohhh that is good news... I was planning an order soon from Empress so perhaps I shall wait until September and get the bell tents at the same time! :D  Maybe the Light horse will be ready then too?

Thank you everyone for the information... I will check out the other bell tents too!

Perhaps check out Baeuda games too I know they do 15mm and have an expanding 28mm range.

Took me a while to find it,
But I have a mould from which I make Bell Tents for our little club.
Needed to make a couple of 'junk pulls' to clean out the mould, but here's what a normal product looks like.  If anyone within the continental US is interested.
With a pair of Wagames Foundry figures in frame to give scale.
Regards,
MW

Pretty cool little tent, Weenie.  I'd be interested in 4 of 'em, and live in the USA.
