Title: zouave tambour Post by: haupt on 26 October 2013, 07:49:15 AM I was inspired by Pawels painting of 5th New York zouaves,and decided to give it a go.Ok so face, fez, jacket,jacket trim, all fine. Things fell apart when it came to the tambour.(decorative design on jacket front), any suggestions gents ?

Then use a very fine permanent marker to black line. Do you need this level of grief :-\ |
