Empress Miniatures AZW limber team

[Mike1879]

Purchased two sets of these beautifully sculpted Empresses Miniatures Anglo Zulu War limber teams. This one is depicted pulling a 7pdr RML field gun. A pleasure to paint and well worth the wait for its long awaited release.

Excellent work there!

These are delightful.

There is still a quite active discussion amongst Zulu war enthusiasts as to the fate of the limbers/carriages at Isandlwana, probably due to the very graphic nature of their demise and the accounts relating the desperate struggle in the press.
By most accounts, a full carriage, with the remains of men and horses, having fought to escape the field, was suspended over a deep ravine, witnessed months later by Archibald Forbes I believe and there is, in 'Zulu rising'' something said on this.
The heart skips a beat thinking of these terrifying last moments.

I am very happy that Empress have put the effort into producing these and happier still to see you bringing them to fruition.

Thanks for sharing your work here, it is a source of inspiration.



Cheers
