Two more figures from the excellent 28mm plastic zouaves box set from Perrys are finished and ready to join the ranks.

The first is the drumboy.

5th New York Zouaves (PART 1)

Anerican Civil War always have been one of my favoured periods of military history.
In tha past i was somehow reluctand in having to paint "Big Battalions" but this changed just before Christmas when i was introdused to a Black Powder ACW game at our local club and saw the beauty of them.
I was fortunate to find a box of Perry's plastic zouaves at a local store so i didn't had to wait for Santa.
The plan was to paint them in a tabletop standard but things don't always go as planned...





One finnished ,thirty five to do so stay tuned...

Cheers
George
