Wonderful as always.
There is a ‘period’ atmosphere to your pictures.
Best wishes,
Chris

Thank you!
Here pictures from the project.
A picture of the ruins of the storehouse, taken about 6 months after the battle. The walls to the right and left of the building have to be forgotten, they came about later, after the battle. I recreated the building according to descriptions (sketches Ltd: Chard), dimensions and the existing original photos on a 1/72 scale.
Also photos of printed 3D figures. British and Zulu in single combat as well as by British shooting. It's unbelievable what possibilities there are now.
Here is a link to the construction report of the Rorke`s Drift buildings:

Beautifully done! I’m so impressed by what you are achieving with your painting at 1/72.

I agree with everybody, Wolfgang. Your figures are so well painted that look more 1/32 than 1/72. 
My very best congratulations.
By the way, welcome to the forum, paulbanks, if you are a newcomer.
Santi.

I brought the earth to the diorama. And already the first rocks for the rocky slope and the rough kraal. Many more stones follow. Here are a few test pictures with figures.

I had ordered new figures from Germania -figuren in 3D printing. Dead and injured British and British building barricades. Scale 1/72 for my Rorke`s Drift Diorama.

Wonderful work, Wolfgang. The terrain, buildings, and figures are all first-rate, I too am looking forward to seeing more.

Thank you, Peter and John!
