Very Suave Zouaves


Very Suave Zouaves indeed! Needless to say the base figures has given me a number of ideas, many believe to be unnatural.....

One of the units in the partially completed ACW Spencer Smith collection that I got from Old Painter Bob was these rather splendid fellows you see above - the New York Zouaves. Bob did a really lovely job on these and all I needed to do was to base them (and paint the figures base for the drummer).

Historically these were very active but they were very roughly handled by the Texas Brigade which is kind of handy for reasons that will become clearer in a few days....

    Hello there tradgardmastare,

    They certainly are (assuming that is a superlative you are using)!

    They really capture the ‘old school’ look to a tee.

    All the best and take care,

    Hi Simon,

    Old Painter Bob did a sterling job with these - my contribution was limited to basing them but they certainly look very nice.

    All the best and take care,

    Lovely David, now you have to have the Tigers to complement them.

    Hello independentwargamesgroup,

    They do look really good and whilst the Tigers are not on the immediate horizon there are a few other options I am pondering.

    All the best and take care,
