They look pretty imposing en masse





When laid out in two ranks the force stretches over six feet (2 metres)


The bosses are all mounted on 80mm discs from warbases


All the units have different shield designs...with their own respective commanders







Better start on the Brits now...

talking of which the first post on the Brits can be found here

  5. Took me a lot longer to do than six weeks when I was doing Zulu. Really impressive. Like the command stands a lot.

  9. Brilliant. Me and a friend have decided that zulu war is going to be our project of 2017. Will be straight to halfords for the brown spray paint!
