Last of the Zulu's rebased

The fourth and final batched now reworked and rebased.

Third batch of Zulus

Beginning to get the hang of this. Plenty of odd repairs needed.

I've done the Indunas as well, not sure what make they are but should include RSM or Newline

Second batch of Zulus

I tried a slightly different basing, adding some railway cork balast to the mix.

It gave a much rougher surface but took far too much efort as it didn't stick well.

A small top up for the stash

Yes the new War of Spanish Succession figures are out from Strelets so I immediately bought a selection..

The British/Jacobite artillery are just to add a little fun to 1745 games and half a pack of the Volksturm will top up my Volksturm to a full platoon (the other half are for Andy).

First batch of Zulus reworked

It's a long time since these figures were first painted, 1985 I think. So they are long overdue for rework.

Some of the old basing

The first batch of rebased figures

About a third of the figures had no shiels as Esci did not include enough in the pack, so I 3D printed some and added them where missing and a lot of weapons that had also fallen off over the years.

Old and new side by side.

Back from Jersey

I've had another holiday in Jersey, enjoying the coastal walking and encountering all the various fortifications, especially those from the German occupation.

I found a gun still in its bunker, I think it's a 75mm PAK 97/38

Lots more pictures from my previous visit here (link)

A couple of Japanese self propelled guns

Once I discovered that the Ho-Ni SPG had been used in the Philippines I had to print a couple to join my Japanese forces. I used the same colour scheme as my Shin-Hoto Chi-Ha's.

The Type 1 Ho-Ni I was created by using the existing Type 97 Chi-Ha chassis and replacing the gun turret with a Type 90 75 mm field gun.
