I've been working on some British and Zulus for the Zulu war of 1879. I finished up some british mounted infantry yesterday:

My God Tim these are just amazing, Everything about them, from their bases to the horses to their bedrolls is just beautiful. I know someone already asked but who makes these?

Thanks all!

As someone suggested they are indeed from Black Tree Design (I picked them up off ebay). I had to carve off some odd piping the pith helmets seemed to have that just didn't look quite right to me.

I've seen those on your blog, really stunning!  :)

I also love everything from the miniatures to the bases and from the painting to the terrain!

Yes, excellent work on figures and bases. Being BTD I'm not convinced about the sculpting of their helmets, but your work on them washes those doubts away. I'm very, very tempted by them.

Great work there, as already said from helmet to bases that is amazing work.

I never really about thought about BTD Zulu war figures, maybe time to look again!
