    Hi All,
    I am currently turning two of my 3d heads into a new project for future release. In 120mm scale it depicts Dickie Owen as Corporal Schiess - Natal Mounted Police in combat with a married Zulu warrior from the iconic film Zulu.
    Still along way to go but the basic poses are there.
    Apologies for the photo's but you will get the gist of it.
    cheers

    Excellent work Richie, I presume you're just going to do the whole cast in time? :) Best of luck with this, I believe Schiess had originally gone there to arrest the Zulus ;)

    Excellent progress on the pair and Surgeon Reynolds too. Is that the old Mike French Chard (Stanley Baker) figure with him? Got him in my stash along with the Bromhead, Bourne, and Chelmsford figures.

    Hi Michael,
    Yes it is that Chard figure, I own these now and wanted to add to the figure range hence these projects.
