They are Armies in Plastic Set 5573 'Zulu War 1879, 24th Foot' (though to be honest the only difference between the various regiments they sell is the box art and the colour of the plastic they are molded in - these are a lurid red).

It's a nice set - 18 figures in six different poses. The UK distributor is Steve Weston - don't be put off by the poorly-designed website, he provides excellent service.
Cool! They remind me of the old Airfix soldiers my dad used to paint for me
ReplyDeleteLovely work on these Edwin :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind comments guys.
ReplyDeleteI do have a Gatling gun and crew in the same range to do, but I think I'll let it lie for the time being...
Hero submission going well - I'm thinking of little extras to go with it.
Lovely old school work there, Edwin. Isn't it clever of the manufacturers to colour code their figures for us - who would have thought that they were British if not cast in dayglo red? :)
ReplyDeleteI just adore these Edwin, beautifully done Sir.
ReplyDeleteI do enjoy seeing the 54s painted in your Old School style.
ReplyDeleteNice job!
These are really nice! Great work!
ReplyDeleteI like this kind of Colonial figures! Pity there are only six poses. You painted them excellent!
