Cracking job 

[paulr]

 

Well worth the wait

I love this unit name

K-Company 69th New York 'Irish Zouaves':

[Hertsblue]

I love this unit name

But note that their only concession to zouavery is baggy trousers.

Great paint job, though, Ace. 

[Westmarcher]

Good stuff (again).

And zouave style jackets trimmed in red and emerald green sashes (even though they don't really show in the picture...)!

Stunning figures!

Good word that, Hertsblue.

Clown strippers?

[Leman]

Excellent zouaves. Could see some of those ending up in my 1870 French army as Turcos.

Intriguing imagery there!

(I don't think I fancy the squirting out of the 'flower' routine though).

Not the 'young man from Australia' again?

Right then, the next batch finished; all things artillery related (and some other stuff too):

The gun crews in Kepi's (I decided to paint one set as Union and the other as Confederates to show that they can easily be mixed):


The crews in slouch hats (same thing; Union wore slouch hats too, especially in the West so why not...):


The guns; some painted in grey, some painted in typical Union olive green:


Siege mortar; couldn't resist putting it on some planks in a small vignette... so sorry:


And then the damage that they do...Infantry casualties and the stretcher bearers:


The only help they're probably gonna get; the light ambulance:


Field forge (I have to be honest though; it would be drawn behind a limber in the days but since this is as it's sold, here you go!):


The limber with additional guidon bearer and officer/sergeant/horse artillery member or however you want to call him (confederate flag is not included by te way so you could make this one Union just as easy!):


Ammunition Caisson with four horses and a picture with the extra horses and commander/sergeant/mounted artilleryman painted up as Union. Of course the model and crew could be painted up as Confederates as well:



And last but certainly not least; the supply wagon painted as a Union wagon but, you will have guessed it by now, will serve the Confederacy just as well:


Okay then, down to the last models now; Cavalry, commanders, partisans and civilians. The last few bits...

Cheers,
Rob

Smashing work, Rob !
