Lace 'n Big Hats

Lace 'n Big Hats is a diary of my lead adventures. The title comes from a remark of Martin Rapier, a member of TMP. Lace 'n Big Hats aggregates historical periods such as the Lace wars, Seven years war, Napoleonic Wars etc, which had this elaborate dress as one common factor. I like the phrase so much I am thinking of using it as a name for a rule set I am working on. My historical interests are actually a bit broader, so I will be throwing in bits and pieces from WW2 and even the Modern era.

28mm Zulu Wars Rourkes drift set

This are the figures for Empress Miniatures 28mm Zulu Wars Rourkes drift set. There are also some buildings and sandbag/box/wagon barricades which I haven't started yet. There are more figures than pictured here. There are 40 plastic Zulus plus a couple of metals, including one mounted. I can't remember off hand how many British there are.

Note the guy in striped trousers. I found that he was wearing these on the day according to some sources. It adds a bit of interest to the set.
