You might even have the pleasure of my company too Steve.

You'd better get cracking Richie, it'll soon be that time of year.

Roger.

Hi All,
And Happy New Year from Rorke's Drift

.

Well finally some progress to report. I have now 6 Zulu's finished and fixed into position. Two others are well on the way to completion and yesterday I managed to repair the final two and get them undercoated. I have also got completed 4 of the defenders but these are not fixed yet. I still need to weather all these figures yet with a bit of dust but the airbrush should nail that one and a bit here and there on the fixed Zulu's.
All the other defenders are about 40-50% completed, with the exception of one which I need to break down and re-sculpt as I'm not happy with him. So the finish line for the Sword & Lance is still very much on the cards.

cheers
Richie
It's club night, tonight and then a well deserved.

That's looking great Richie, love the flesh tones of the Zulus. You can have a night off tonight, see you later.

Looking good Richie, even if it's not ready for S&L bring it along been a joy watching it progress

That is an awesome diorama.

Couldn't agree more with Roger's comment about the Zulu flesh tones.

Hi Roger,
Thanks mate, actually the camera has washed the tones out a bit. I'll see you tonight.

Do want pictures of this when complete. And I want to se it in the flesh with John Barry's soundtrack playing in the back ground.
