The contents of the third REALLY USEFUL BOX I brought home from the storage unit included:
Minifig American World War I infantry figures painted by Nick Huband.
Four Arab warbands and five Arab gunners. The figures were manufactured by Essex Miniatures and were painted for a currently-defunct Colonial imagi-nation project.
The senior commanders of the Marzibarian armed forces and two units of the Sultan of Marizibar's Guard.. These are all Essex Miniatures figures.
Two units of the Marzibarian Zouaves and some members of the Marzibarain Artillery and Navy. These are all Essex Miniatures figures
I started work on the nineteenth century colonial imagi-nations project that involved British Dammallia, German Mankanika, and the Sultanate of Marzibar over ten years ago, but over time it got relegated to storage ... which – on reflection – might have been a rather silly decision.

BOB,
ReplyDeleteNow that you have some of the ESSEX figures is there a chance of revitalizing the Colonial Project? I'll be gaming my Sci-Fi Star Troops and hopefully have a few games in the next few days which I can make some posts on Blogger. Regards. KEV.
Kev Robertson (Kev),
DeleteI do hope so … and wait until you see the rest of the figures!
Good luck with your Sci-Fi project!
All the best,
Bob
Bob - Methinks the Marzibar Campaign ought to fit well enough into the world of La Belle Epoch...

DeleteI’m very inclined to meld the two together in some way if possible. It would be a great way to take both forward and to be able to switch back and forward between the two as the mood took me.
All the best,
Bob
