LEGO Zulu-Anglo War 14

Coming up to the end of LEGO Zulu/Anglo War series- I like this volunteer's hat...
After a while, I decided to expand on this feller. He's most likely not a Zulu (like the previous one), and works as something similar to a deputy to the local police force/sherif force.

TTYL!

LEGO Zulu-Anglo War 13

A Natal volunteer- not a Zulu, per se.

TTYL!

LEGO Zulu-Anglo War 12

An officer with a baton- I'm least pleased with this ones' face... but I like the jacket he's wearing.



This Tuesday was my first day at Wet Paint, and yesterday was my second. I'm off today and tomorrow, and Saturday'll be my third!
There's a lot that I need to learn (brand/product-specific knowledge for one), but I think Wet Paint is going to be a good fit!

TTYL!

LEGO Zulu-Anglo War 11

A rather bedraggled English Soldier...

Next post, I'll tell you stories about my first two days at Wet Paint, and my time in Portland.

TTYL!

LEGO Zulu-Anglo War 9, 10

Making up some time I've missed while I've been internet-less at Craguns Resort near Brainard, Minnesota...


My intent with this happy fellow was that he has stolen an English soldier's uniform jacket, and augmented it with his own tribal gear.



One thing you might have noticed is that all of the Zulus (so far) have headdresses. So to make that work with the modular aspect of LEGO, and trying to keep the number of new/original pieces down, the warrior's headdresses all share a common circlet, modified with various paint-schemes and feathers. I think this one is one of my favorites so far.

I might not have a new one tomorrow; the drive back is going to be long, and I'm 98% sure I'm going to want to take a nap before going about packing for the next trip I'm going on, Portland! So, keep you eyes peeled.

I'm also considering what to do next. So far, the idea of doing a series based off the history of the USSR/CCCP would be fun: Stalin, Lenin, Trotsky, Putin (as a KGB spook), Gorbichev, Breschnev, 1984 Olympic hockey player, etc... We shall see.

TTLY!
