Oh boy, a shopping we will go, cheers for the heads up Keith! Best get the book about the making of the movie out for painting reffs!

Fantastic painting! Not my subject usually but I grew up watching Zulu(I think all British bairns did) so I think a purchase is in order. Once again top notch figure and PJ.

[Orctrader]

Sweet work.   

[Tellus]

Awesome

[Elprez]

Beautiful paintjob, and must-have figures.

"Brandys for heroes Mr Hook" great brushwork there really is a work of art

also a great set empress ladies!

[Gluteus Maximus]

also a great set empress ladies!

Very true! I've just seen the pic of the full set - for some reason I didn't notice it when I looked earlier 

Each figure is superb, but being an ex-Sapper Lt Chard VC is my favourite 

Also, considering what some companies would charge for this sort of character set, fantastic value too.

A must-have!

Very nice sculpt and brushwork. Still the most rewarding part of this thread is to discover that there are people actually contemplating gaming with rag and bone men. I can see movement in the making, '70s sitcom characters in 28mm, of course I may be behind the times myself, if I think about it. Just about every one of Bob Murch's female sculpts looks a little like Yootha Joyce.

Wow, I missed the Michael Caine figure too. Perfect for conversions, just need a suitable figure in a trenchcoat carrying a double barreled shotgun and a bottle of whisky. Anyone fancy doing a modelling tutorial on a multi story carpark in Gateshead?

[Axebreaker]

Nice mini and reflects his attitude quite well.

Cheers

A great figure!

@Carlos - gaming with rag and bone men? I'd love to see miniature versions of Bramble & Son: Vampire Hunters,  .

[thebinmann]

Mine is on the way...

Thanks for the heads up

And, back on-topic, I have placed my order with Empress.
The other figures in the pack are brilliant too

Empress Miniatures' Anglo-Zulu stuff does get me very excitable and this set is no exception.  The paint job on the insalubrious Hook is absolutely stunning, Keith.
