The mission station at Rorkes Drift, made famous by the movie ZULU. Built for 25mm gaming. Let me know what you think:

Very nice indeed - has the right 'feel' about it. Not very scientific I know but there you go!  :icon_thumright:
The questions we should be asking are these:
Does it have dungeons?
Does it have dragons?
Does it have transients who kill things for money?  Do you roll a d20?

Thank you. I also added a link to more pictures of it (including the inside after the roof has been removed).

Scale?

I suspect 28mm.

it looks very clean... like lots of soldiers have been given fatigues to repaint it.

Nicely made, and from what I know it looks pretty accurate too.

Looks like 1:72 scale.

Good work there but the ground needs some attention.  :thumbsup:

The scale is on the gallery page I linked to. There are more picture on there, some woth the roof off.

...and for those of us who are too lazy to look it is built for 25mm gaming :icon_wink:

Some of those pieces will also be available once I launch the online store.

They are. They're the old Esci Zulu war figures. They're possibly a wee bit small for the model, but I didn't have any metal 25mm's around to photograph with it.

That looks great, definately feels right to me.  You can imagine it in a scene so easily, great work.

Being that it was made for gaming you can take the roofs of and fight from room to room. Here are two pics of the interriors:

I still want me some me.  No, sorry, that's Terrell Owens, isn't it? :D

I still want something like this one day :D  Especially since I found a load of that exact same set of airfix zulu war british figures when I was tidying in the garage this week! :D Ah well, one day :)
