Imagine if I ever got to doing all of them!? I'm curious to see how Men Who Would be Kings plays out as the opposing 24-point British force is just three units of 15 and a gun of some sort. <br /><br />Boxer Rebellion - DO IT!timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09928949644765765070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-40630814595520733302016-10-14T14:05:10.914-07:002016-10-14T14:05:10.914-07:00An imposing force mate!

He was building a Zulu Wars project in 15mm using Old Glory figures. His method for painting Zulus? Lay down a base coat of white spray paint (or primer. I forget which) and then proceed to paint them black or rubber. Took him FOREVER. He got a lot of ribbing about his methods! Don't know if he ever finished that project. <br /><br />Zulu is a GREAT movie.Jonathan Freitaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07862373894196924886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-79268516971188295802016-10-13T21:53:34.575-07:002016-10-13T21:53:34.575-07:00Great looking zulus, another period I'm doing ...Great looking zulus, another period I'm doing my best to resist.
