Zulu War British 7pdr's and Hales Rocket.

Give them one more round then Limber up.

t
British 7pdr guns and crew along with a Hales rocket by Empress Miniatures. 

 Last week Dave D did a fantastic job on a 9pdr version of this gun along with a wonderful backdrop. Check out http://www.onemanhisbrushes.blogspot.co.uk/

Also if you go to the excellent http://28mmvictorianwarfare.blogspot.co.uk/  you will to see a superb example of a 7pdr gun and crew painted by the talented Michael Awdry.










There is plenty more posts on the Zulu front to come as I have now finished mounted and dismounted Buffalo Border Guard, Newcastle Mounted Rifles, Imperial Mounted Infantry and various mounted officers. These posts will be joining the blog queue along with French Napoleonics, more terrain and some medieval buildings that have all been completed. So hopefully there should be enough to keep you coming back for a little while.

  6. Superb Pat! Great work and really impressive photography that really brings the enormity of the scenario to life. I'm sure I've got the rocket team somewhere, really must dig it out and I notice that you've got all the elements based as individual items, are you planning to convert a few limbers for the guns?

    Many thanks also for the link, although it doesn't seem to be working at the moment. :(

    1. Thanks very much everyone.
      Michael, I have re done your link, so should be okay now.
      The limbers did cross my mind. I have a set of British Napoleonic unmade, I don't know if these would work. Anyone have any suggestions?
