Anglo-Zulu War 1879 in 20mm - The British army at Isandlwana (part 2 and final)

 

Just a few more stands made recently to finish the British army at Isandlwana. You can see them "in action" on the last video. 

These two blurred figures represent the 50 or something Natal Mounted Police. I already had the Natal Carbineers made in the same way and these just add some more colour.  

These two figures were converted from the Esci standard bearer that you can see to the right. The arms were bent with a lighter and two rifles were glued to the arms new positions. Also some spikes were drilled into the helmet as typical with the NMP. 

The Rocket battery was still missing as well as its "limber", the Esci Alpine´s donkey with a Revell Confederate figure as its driver. 

Again two of the figures were heavily converted with the exception of Major Russell. 

The Hale Rocket system was made from pieces of plastic cut and glued until it looked OK. 

Just in order to have and officer in their striking blue jacket I made one last stand of Natal Native Horse. All figures are converted Confederates from Revell and A Call to Arms.

The 3rd and last NNC company was made from the original Esci Zulus with added plastic card shields. Only the officer is - again - a Confederate Esci figure. 

I also finished some more 200 Zulus figures, many in plastic card shields and central spines made of pieces of broom sticks. This kind of shields are also the ones on the previous NCC figures. 

Next: BREM-K vehicles for the Russians in Ukraine.
