Zulu War Figures
« on: 31 July 2011, 03:34:51 PM »
I've just finished these Zulu War figures from Empress Minis.

Men of the 3rd East Kent Regiment.


Men of the Natal Police.


Cheers

Nice work Gaz.  I like the old copper with the pill box hat especially.

Hi Gaz,

I have just joined the site and would love to know how you paint your Empress Brits. I too have got some Empress figures and want to achieve the same painting quality as you have. Do you follow a specific quide or is it down to many years of painting experience?
