A Call to Arms Zulus

I painted these guys up a while ago. I got both the A Call to Arms 1/72 sets - the Zulus and British Infantry. I have yet to paint up the Brits, but I'm thinking I'll do a small-scale skirmish wargame (each set only contains 32 figures).
These Zulu minis are really well-detailed and beautifully sculpted, but they suffer from two sad flaws: their bases are tiny, and it's hard to stand them up (although this isn't a problem when you glue them to pennies) and their shields are as hard as #@$%! to glue on! Imagine fifteen minutes of your muscles cramping up as you try to hold this guys shield onto his arm, then you tentatively pull your hand away to see if it will stick, only to have it fall off and ruin the results of those agonizing 15 minutes! There's no workable peg-and-hole function to keep the shield on - it's all up to the glue to keep it attached.
I attempted drybrushing for the first time on these figures. The reason I don't normally drybrush figures is because A I don't even particularly like the way it looks and B you have to drybrush a separate color for each item of clothing/weapons/flesh, and  this is not worth the time.
For these figures, however, since they are all pretty much one uniform color (brown) I thought the drybrushing would be justified.

This guy is my favorite, so I thought he justified two pics.
