[Guest]

Fantastically detailed Ron. The figures are positioned perfectly to show the defence line and the close combat. How long did it take to paint all those figures?

Incredible work Ron, what's left to say?...

[Gern]

The build quality is excellent as always Ron, but the sheer number of figures involved convert it from a diorama into a story! Wonderful stuff!

[Ian M]

Dont really have the words to express my amazement at this.


It is a testament to you skills, patients and perseverance.


Absolutely wonderful.

Ron you absolute nutter, this piece belongs in a museum. I want to use swear words to describe how much I like this.

'cos I don't use the 'doo dahs', preferring the more friendly written word, I want to thank each and everyone of you great people on here for the truly humbling comments you have posted about my model. Reading them has made all the eye rubbing, cussing, and even bin lid opening and, thankfully shutting, all worth while.....


My avatar sums it up - I raise my hat to you all.


Just to answer the couple of questions.....


Robert - Both the Zulu and British figures are the excellent Esci 1/72....'Plastic Soldier Review' is a great site for info on all 1/72 figures.


Misters Baker and Caine? Look at the bugler in the top centre, just below the ladder. Mr. Baker is by his left side...Mr. Caine is slightly down from him and forward, shooting a pistol...Both overacting!


Blair - How long to paint the figures? I honestly don't know, I would do a session using all the same colour ( say red) then lay off 'till my eyes could see again, then next session use a different colour. Doing the painting this way seemed to make the process quicker and easier some how.


Once again, thanks to all for your excellent posts. I appreciate them all.


Cheers,


Ron

That makes a lot of sense to do it that way, a good tip worth noting. Thanks Ron
