Zulu Close up

Here is a close up of one of the 28mm hard plastic figures I have done for the Isandlwana game. This is an Induna of the iNolondo regiment. I have done some extra work on this fellow adding body and leg decorations, two feathers for his headdress, leopard skin headdress, beard and opened his mouth. I am certainly not taking this much time with the majority of figures but for specials such as the Indunas I will make an extra effort. I used green stuff for the body and leg decoration, plastic rods for the feathers. I have a pyrogravure which is a hot needle tool for working with plastic. In the past I was a keen maker of Historex figures and used the pyrogravure for super detailing these. I used the pyrogravure to rough up the feathers and add the beard as well as open the mouth.
