WIP The road to Ulundi

[Richie]

Hi All,
This is one of the other projects I have decided to start. I wanted to make a scene using the three Art Soldiers 54mm figure and a another couple of 54mm I will need to convert.
I wanted to make a scene of a group of officer's discussing the best route on inefficient maps on how to get to Ulundi, the Zulu capital.

Still early days but at least we are cutting off sprues and tacking together.
cheers

Hi Antonio,
I really like these sculpts you did for Art Soldiers. I knew when I saw them the scene I wanted to make. Again lovely figures mi amigo.

Hi Keith,
Some bench time and Zulu war projects have been long overdue mate. Need to crack on tomorrow, but awaiting some new spectacles so I'll do what I can.

Hi Marc,
It certainly will be until I get my new glasses. Will be nice to have a Natal Carbineer in blue, a Frontier Light Horse in a dark yellow, Natal Mounted Police in black and a couple of scarlet tunic. Will be a challenge to paint.
cheers

You just need a fair lady standing in the background with her arms crossed, looking upset, and call it "They never ask for directions"...

How including about an 80th Foot, MI? They were at Ulundi.....

Hi Richie

Great looking grouping of figures

Following with interest

[Helm]

Richie you need a couple of natives sniggering in the background and pointing in the opposite direction for maximum effect I reckon.

[Viking Bob]

Again following as this is a favourite period of mine.

 

[Richard Baxter]

All those uniform colours, Richie, sounds almost Napoleonic!

 

[Richie]

Hi Jason, Steve, Ron, Harry, Mike, Malc, Nap, Steve & Bob,
Thank you all for joining in, they are nice figures and could quite easily interact with other standing or mounted figures to make other vignettes.
Will be on the bench this afternoon working on these.
cheers
Richie
