Posted June 24, 201410 yr At a recent brick.ie exhibition in Belfast, we saw a recreation of the battle of Rorke's Drift, an event made famous by the film Zulu. It was made by our brick.ie member Oiley and it looks like it took a hell of a lot of patience. The straw roofs were made using tan droid arms.

June 24, 201410 yr WOWZA! What a build. Massive MOC. Beautiful buildings, great minifigures. Fantastic build, great find!
June 24, 201410 yr Amazing thatched roofs! I have been investigating various roof techniques for my Green Dragon MOC - I decided that droid arms look the best (I already used them for fences), but are a big investment and a lot of work. This MOC gives me all the courage and motivation I need!
June 24, 201410 yr Wow, great use of those droid arms. I've never seen a thatched roof made like that before, but it sure looks good! The use of 1x2's as bricks also lends to the credibility of the buildings. What an awesome build, thanks for sharing .
June 25, 201410 yr What a brilliant MOC, thanks for sharing this! Like others mentioned, that roof is phenomenally done. This is such a cool idea for a MOC (I love the movie) and there is a ton to enjoy. Again, those huts cannot be under appreciated. But the wall surrounding Rourke's Drift is so faithfully done with the chests, boxes, wagons and whatever else was at hand built right into the wall. Great work!
June 25, 201410 yr Love this MOC - really nicely done. And that is a seriously large army. Are those Lego originals?
June 29, 201410 yr This is such an incredible MOC. I think the builder found the exact figure configuration that was needed. The roof technique is so perfect. I think some bricklink stores will receive large orders.
June 30, 201410 yr Wow, great stuff! It must have cost a bomb to get all those figs! Especially the British soldier's white gear, the flesh heads and all of those PotC cannibal figs!! In fact, everything must have cost a bomb about those figs!! Incredible work!
July 7, 201410 yr Awesome technique using droid arms to make the roof! The all MOC is well done and the minigs shows us a dedicated work. Congrats!
July 11, 201410 yr A really epic and action-packed MOC, with great figure posing. The roofs are indeed brilliant.
July 11, 201410 yr Wow, what a creative use of those droid arms. Quite inspiring. The whole thing is fantastically build.
July 12, 201410 yr Brilliant build, beautifully created. A definite "Stop throwing those bl@@dy spears at me!" moment. (No, MC didnt say this in Zulu, but he should have)
