thanks every one for the kind words . love the period . when i first saw the battle report from inside the black powder main rule book i was hooked ! i wacthed zulu and zulu dawn countless times as built and painted . for my zulus i went army painter all the way and painted them in mass . as for the teddy bear fur roofs . they went well i just followed the directions and dipped them in pva glue with a little bit of water . applied them to the buildings and waited for them to dry . next day i watered down paint and painted them . waited for that to dry and began dry brushing up the high light . went pretty smoothly . great buildings . a pleasure to build . just got my copy of wargames illustrated 292 with more zulu stats and ideas for running my game . second week in march , is the plan . i've got my british helmet fresh from ebay to help me run the battle . ill post a full aar when it happens . thanks again guys and happy gaming

Say, where did you find a nice pith helmet - was it an affordable repro one or something rather more serious?

Very nice! I did a 20mm version back in 2004 so I know how much work gets in such a project and your effort really shines!

I see you upgraded the armament with a Gatling :lol:

I'm resisting the urge to get involved in the zulu wars myself, but this is fantastic, well done!

Bloody hell, there's almost literally "fairsands" of 'em. Looks like they'll need that Gatling!
