"15mm Sudan / Colonial Suggestions" Topic

My Sudan project continues. I'd like to field a rocket battery or two for my 1880s British and Egyptian armies. can anyone suggest a suitable manufacturer, or is scrastch-building the way to go? Would normal British and egyptian gunner figures be acceptable?

And, possibly branching out to a new colonial aspect. Any recommendations for Fanti / ashanti figures for the later campaigns of the 19th century? I know Irregular have one figure listed but are there any others?

Old glory has some 7lb rocket batteries included in it's zulu war artillery pack.

A company in New Zealand did a rocket battery crew for their 15mm Maori War range back in the 1980s. The crew wore wide brim hats.

I agree wit hLeidang. Call Old Glory 15mm and see what they have.

You might have to use a Napoleonic rocket stand and use crew from a later range.

I would use the "ask question" link. Usually, their staff are not always at their desk to answer a phone call, but they do respond to their emails.

With the right crew, scratch building would not be that difficult. I just post photos of my 18th century mobile rocket battery at my blog.

Cheers,

The Maori War rocket stand was not like the Napoleonic one. It was a wide long platform rather than a prop frame.

Here is a picture of my zulu war rocket battery. The crew and trough is right out of the OG package.

The packed rocket battery on the mule was customized.

Thanks for the suggestions :)
