Minifigs 20mm and S Range Gurkhas


This (above)  is CI 2 Gurkha Rifleman advancing from the Minifigs 20mm range while below is CI 2s, the same figure from the later S Range. Both are good figures and the photos demonstrate the differences between the ranges, the 20mm coming first and being replaced by the S Range.



Personally I like the Minifigs 20mm figure best, in light order as it is. Somehow you expect Gurkha figures to be slight, don't you?

Rose AW1 Zulu War British Private standing, firing


An unusual firing-while-walking pose, reminiscent of some first generation Garrison Napoleonics, rather than the more normal braced standing firing pose.

Rose AW4 Zulu War British Private kneeling low, firing

No picture of this figure is available at present
