Nice work! A simple but effective set up and some well-painted figures here; a scene from the many hundreds of small, dusty firefights that British troops were involved in during the days of Empire. I like the dried up ditch, the wagon and the scrubby dried up grass tufts.

Absolutely wonderful! Bit too deserty for me :) I also have redcoats en Zulu's in my collection. Taking these figures as benchmark, Strelets should be able to make magnificent fighting and firing lines for their Napoleonic figures as well.

Thanks gents, the first of many I am afraid, there are a few more submitted to Strelets,and more currently on the table.

The Empire Strikes Back!! Well done Alan, superb job and a very vivid selection of poses!!!

I do like colonial troops and these are a splendid addition. May I add my congratulations Alan on an inspiring display. Which reminds me I've got some scruffy Boers somewhere, now if I just break off. No must stay focused! I'm painting on too many fronts already.
