The Zulu war in Miniature: Hiatus over

This Blog is simply a place to post the progress on my little project. “The Zulu war in miniature”, as the name suggests it’s the collecting / painting and playing with toy soldiers or miniatures. The plan is to be able to keep it updated regularly with lots of pictures and the odd bit of boring text. To that end I have been busy behind the scenes for the last year making some small progress with the project so there should be plenty of pictures to post in the coming weeks and months.

Hiatus over

Wow! It has really been a while since I have done any work on the project and posted any updates on the blog. What initially started as a short few days break to enjoy the hot spell we had a couple months ago, evolved into a full wargame hiatus, but I must say that I feel much refreshed after taking a bit of a break from doing all the painting and scenics.

Anyway this week I finally resumed work on the project, and eased in by finishing some foundry Zulus that have been sitting on the painting table for the last few months. The one area that I was evidently short of for the rorkes drift game was Zulu’s with firearms. Hopefully this small lot will help to readdress that shortfall.

Also some of you may have also noticed that the general service wagons were painted in the wrong colour, this has been niggling me for some time so finally I got round to correcting this error.
