ZULU DAWN!

 Zulu!

As I have started to plan projects for next year to add to the build project list I am thinking of revisiting some colonial gaming, which I have not done for 7 years at least. With that in mind I dug into my drawers of unpainted kit and come up with two pieces that would be fine little dioramas for my new display case in the "Salon de Guerre!" and give me a taste of future thinking and a taste of things to come. I enjoyed the flesh tones on the Zulu figure and with a bit more work I feel I would get it very close.

Salute Zulu diorama

Soviet Motostrelki Motorised Infantry part 2

 

 Soviet Motostrelki 

Finally after finishing some more house renovations I have managed to sit down and complete some miniatures. last week I completed another soviet motorised battalion for my cold war collection. The figures 20mm from the Elhiem Miniatures range, I plan to paint another three battalions to complete my Armoured Division collection. Taking a break from camo this week as I get back to completing Prussian and Baden Napoleonic Infantry, plus a few medievals.

My cold war collection is growing rapidly and may soon surpass my ww2 collection for "completed kits" and figures. I am planning a big Able Archer game, multi divisional gaming weekend in Autumn 2022 for four to six players hopefully in the apartments with a 26-30m table, over a full weekend of modern wargaming. I will release the details in November for the event and our 2022 calendar.
