Blimey! Whatever you do, don't welcome them with the Haka. Could turn very nasty  :-I

That's a very good collection of Zulu Wars goodness you have there! I'd love to do a set of buildings etc like you've done, but sadly my skills aren't up to it.

Please post more pics, especially loads of it when you get to fight a battle  :D

Nice job on the Zulus.  At first i was worried, they were already inside the wire, where were the British?!   Keep up the great work!

Thanks very much for all the kind words

well I've just finished all the maze bags (made out of air drying clay and then pushing in and old t-shirt) next will be to start make the biscuit box wall and the kraal

Gluteus Maximus   I can do a how too guide on my buildings and scenery with photos if you would like?

Rev. Aubrey Upjohn The roof is done with fake fur/teddy bear fur.

cut roughly to size
then water and pva glue
brush up first then down
let it dry
cut neatly down the roof angle edge
cut roughly on the overhang (the long run)
i then spray mine black then 3 brown to yellow colors
some people leave it and just add a yellow color to it.

i have just got a copy of British fortifications in Zululand 1879 so plenty of reading for me

Cheers! That would be great, although I can't promise that it will help my sausage fingers to work better  :(

I look forward to seeing it  :)
