    Hi, I'm currently working on the Castle Miniatures British Colonial officer.

    I'm not sure of the colour options I do have on this figure. Is Zulu War 1879, 75th Regiment the only option? I have seen some blue uniforms too, but I'm not sure if that would fit also.

    A beautiful figure in the usual top quality of Castle and some excellent documentation by Alexandre which serves to show how serious he is about his work and how much he respects his customers.Thumbs up and I will be following this.

    If he doesn't see this and chime in himself, drop Richie a PM (that's his handle on here, his avatar is a photo of a chimp).

    The 1879 Zulu War is his main area of interest and expertise, he's probably the best guy on here to ask.

    Hi All,
    Based on the collar badge (sphynx) and cuff details he is a Lieutenant 2nd Warwickshire's 24th Regiment of Foot. Could be easily converted to a number of other regiments or Colonial units with a little bit of work.
    cheers
