WIP 1879 Zulu war donga vignette

[Blind Pew]

Hi Anthony,
Thank you so much mate, the 54mm version will be the same except the bases will be different and no terrier.
You can see it in the flesh when you come up to the Sword and Lance.
Cheers Richie

Excellent, I'm glad to hear it. I'll see what I can do about the terrier - somehow his character makes a real difference. I'm looking forward already!

Hi Anthony,
I will have a look at doing the dog for the 54mm vignette, just hope the base will accomodate him properly.

Hi All,
I have run a test cast on the 54mm Hlubi & Newcastle Mounted Rifles Troopers and everything is OK. I will assemble these and make the bases this week.
Once the bases are made I will drop them in moulds. I also have demoulded the two busts of the same and a 120mm figure which I will test cast next weekend.
cheers
Richie

Hi All,
I have managed to get the two figures together (certainly not to painting standard) and cut the rough templates for the bases.
I'll adjust the bases to the correct size tomorrow, I will have room for the 54mm terrier.
cheers
Richie

Doesn't get much better than this.

Hi All,
I have literally just finished the 54mm version of the Donga vignette with terrier added. I also assembled a cast of the Hlubi Trooper bust and Newcastle Mounted Trooper in 200mm 1/9 scale.
I have thoroughly enjoyed this project and a massive thumbs up to Ariel and Tommi. I already have the next one planned and ready to go out this will be based on actual people.
cheers

Join the club, that resolution wasn't going to last.
Mine only lasted a couple of days.
Get the feeling this is going to be a bumper year for the hobby.

Hi Nap,
That's why I don't make 'em. I'll get to your bust in the near future. I want to remould one of the parts.

You've really done a cracking job on these, I hope they do well for you. You've set me off to paint a couple of 91st in Zululand now. Only on paper though!
All the best,
Scotty.
