I finished a second battalion of Great War Germans the other night and while I was apinting for finish layers of base colours to dry, I knocked off these “Street Zulus”
(Remember: click on the pictures
for a bigger version):
“Street Zulus” from Casting Room
Miniatures.
I picked these up some time last
year thinking they might be fun to throw into a unit of regular Zulus (for the
Anglo-Zulu war of 1879) just to see if anyone notices… or possibly use them in
with my modern African
Militia or use them as a group of survivors in Mutants
and Death Ray Guns or in some other sci-fi/timetravelling adventure…
I originally started painting
these back in October when I was finishing
up Zulu units to hopefully play The
Men Who Would Be Kings. They were about 90% completed when I lost
interest in them/go busy with other things – but they were so close to being
complete I couldn’t bring myself to put them back into storage any time I was
clearing off the workbench.
Actually when I grabbed these
and decided to finish them up I realized one (the crouching fellow) was
actually DONE – except for his base – I just hadn’t put on finish or did his
base because I was waiting to do it along with the others. The others simply
needed a feather or an ammo pouch to be finished up.
This is a 40mm Great War German
that my firend John
made. He was casting a bunch at my place as he’s in gypsy mode as all his
casting supplies are locked away in a container somewhere and left a few for me
to paint.

I probably should have put a 28mm figure in there for size comparison...

Maybe someday I should get back
to finishing MY OWN 40mm
figures!
Coming soon on Tim’s Miniature Wargaming Blog:
I hope I’ll get to finish up the 3rd battalion of (28mm)
Great War Germans this evening… or maybe tomorrow…
Love these wonderful Zulus!
