About the Project

I have decided to revisit all my colonial miniatures and give them a bit of love after being stored away in the Garage for so long. I have four armies that need a tidy up and revisit some 19th century theaters of war and why the hell were we there? "Because we're here lad,no body else, just us"

For some time my zulu wars minis have been ranked up on square movement trays which is a bit rank and file for a zulu rush in my opinion.For some time my zulu wars minis have been ranked up on square movement trays which is a bit rank and file for a zulu rush in my opinion.
I've been wondering what to do with the last bits of filament on my printer and new movement trays are a good use for those last bits.I've been wondering what to do with the last bits of filament on my printer and new movement trays are a good use for those last bits.

It's only a small part of my collection done so far but I'll gradually swap them out everytime I get a spare bit of filament after a big print.

I picked up the cavalry box set from wargames Atlantic while at salute and was eger to get it done. This is for the 1879 conflict but could be used for the earlier war if I leave out the regular uniformed infantry I picked up the cavalry box set from wargames Atlantic while at salute and was eger to get it done.

Some Indian cavalry for the British in Afghanistan. I'm not sure if I've got the turban colours right but I think they are close enough. Some Indian cavalry for the British in Afghanistan. I'm not sure if I've got the turban colours right but I think they are close enough.

Pop that chap somebody. It's that time of year when I have to go to my inlaws in Ireland but luckily zulu was on the TV. Also every year I take a pile of minis to paint up. This year I took a collection of Maori warriors that I'd 3d printed from wargames Atlantic. Usually I do forces for men who would be King's but I'm I big fan of muskets and tomahawks and I found a great article in wargames illustrated for doing Maori wars which will keep me going until they finally do a colonial war supplement. Now I've finished them I took them out into the garden for a photoshoot. I'll need the brits for them to fight and I'll flick them when I get home.Pop that chap somebody.

Maiwand 1880. Now I've got all the infantry I need to get some cavalry both sides although they didn't do too much during the battle. Its food to get some Indian units on the field and the 1st bombay were a grenadier unit that suffered terrible casualties Maiwand 1880.
