Hi Gary mate,
I made and painted this myself, it is an old out of production Mike French Tiny Troopers 120mm resin model kit. I have put this up in the model section with a few more photo's of it. Glad you like it, they are superb models. I am working on quite a few others and when I get them done I will post them on here.
By the way before I forget I have bought quite a few of your recommendations from the book list you sent me.
cheers
Richie

Hi All,

I too have a copy of 'Eyewitness' and found it most enjoyable. I also have 'A rain of lead' by the same author, the latter is the story of the seige of Potchefstroom in 1880 /81 in which a number of the Rorke's Drift men took part, including Dunne, also a most interesting read.
