I don't know if anyone else has painted lead figures but here are some of mine, from the Anglo-Zulu War. 24th Regt. of Foot v. Zulu impi. All of the outfits are 100% historically correct in colors-except I forgot to go back over the helmet liners, belts, ammo pouches and dirty them up. I painted these 20 years ago. I did several hundreds of these figures, I think they are 15mm.
