18th December 2001	Glenn Wade Hi Alex! My name's Glenn and I'm 13, I have a wide interest in the Zulu War and I'm creating a diorama on Isandlwana too! The colours of the RA's uniform at Isandlwana was a blue-navy tunic, yellow piping for the shape on the cuffs and a red collar. Helmets were white or dyed brown. Hope this helps, if you need any more uniform info, just e-mail me! Glenn

19th December 2001	Alex Rossiter Thankyou for the help guys. All i have to do now is paint all my figures which may take some time,im still thinking which scene to model it will probably be when the british line broke and the zulus swept through. Thanks again for the help :-)
