Looking for MFRs that make zulu huts (the domed shaped ones) with straw sidings etc. and a kraal. The only ones I found are 28mm from Empress Miniatures. otherwise I'm thinking of making my own kraal. Any hints or tips? Maybe plastic half egg shells for the domes? |

Blue Moon has some African huts but I don't think they are kraals? You decide: link |

Here's a 15mm Zulu Kraal I made -
My apologies for the self promotion, but the hus are resin models I cast and sell myself. The fence is made using Jacaranda tree twigs. You can view more photos here if you're interested in taking a look -
link If you're interested in some huts please feel free to send me a PM Cheers, Barry |

Those egg shells are possible, but depending on how large you want your kraal, you may want to read about alternative materials. The link will take you to page: Generic Village (15mm) and Palisade which is covered over three postings. link If building your poses problems, this one will be for sale in the near future. Cheers, |

My scratch built 28mm:
link I used sticks from my yard. Huts are from a few different mfg's. Can't remember right off hand. Peter |

Barry S – how much for your resin huts? They look really nice. Sorry I don't have your email. |

Timurilank/Peter – nice kraals btw. I like the custom built stuff but I really don't have the time to make them myself. Timurilank-let me know how much you are willing to sell your kraal :-) |
