Pontifical Zouaves

[J.S.]

Sorry for digging out this old thread, but I'm once again looking for pictures of certain figs..
So which Zouaves are those? The 1870 French ones or ACW zouaves? Because of the headgear... thought of using FPW zouaves for 1914, but they wore a fez or turban back then..only the officiers had a kepi.


thanks in advance

[Leon]

These are the FPW ones.

Thank you Leon! But before further abusing this thread I'll switch to my other "how does this figure look like?"-topic

The new ACW zouaves are lovely. Have a look at my Guards Voltigeur thread to see what the ones in turbans look like. I had to scratch build an eagle, it comes with a spike!

[J.S.]

Thank you Lemmey, those look great...I guess I'll give them a go

Excellent! I might use the acw zouaves for my French in Crimea, then.

Liking those a lot. The basing and flag are very inspirational.

and thanks also, Lemmy, for putting up the ACW photo 

ACW zouaves to the both of you.

But mine are for 1870!!!

Wonderfull stuff folks!
Always had a weak spot for the Ponticial Zouaves; we have a museum in the Netherlands dedicated to the Dutch volunteers with several Original uniforms, equipment etc. Absiolutely worthwhile!

Cheers,

But mine are for 1870!!! 

whoops! sorry, I was too busy looking at the pics and not enough reading the script ~ I saw ACW and then zoned out ... I wouldn't mind but the flag is a huge giveaway as to the nationality Doh!

Looking very suave.

Another coat to find, this morning.

  At least it doesn't need to be a winter one today.

I wonder if the Pontifical Zouaves told the other troops what they thought they ought to be doing.
