Looking superb Richie. Such an impressive amount of work has gone into creating that scene. It's going to be incredible when you've painted it all up.
Cheers

I saw this at Sword & Lance, Darlington yesterday. The most impressive 120mm diorama I've seen.
Top stuff Richie and I look forward to seeing it painted.

Likewise, and I have to agree.

How could I miss this one...?! Very very nice Richie. It really captures the heat of battle. So many figures per square cm but they fit together perfectly! Great work.

Cheers

I've been busy and just checking in on the site. Where are you with this one? Looks like it was really appreciated at Sword and Lance

[ChaosCossack]

I'm with Ray... have you started splashing paint on this scene yet? I'm dying to see it with some colour on it!

[Richie]

Hi Ray/Colin,
I have made a start painting some of the figures and blocking in on others. I decided to try and clear some of the other projects around and I have been slowly working on these. I also started a bust from Campaign Miniatures of a Natal Pioneer as I have never painted a dark skin tone before and I have used this as a very valuable painting aid before I started the Zulu's.

Plus other things have gotten in the way, work, family etc

Once I get back at it, the painting should move at a fair rate as did the build did, so just bear with me lads. I plan to have a good square away and make a fresh start this weekend.
cheers
Richie
