Title: FPW11 Zouaves/Tirailleurs Algerians inc. comma.
Post by: tschuma on 09 September 2011, 04:23:40 PM
Could the FPW11 Zouaves be used for the Sudanese Infantry in Zouvae dress for the 1880's Sudan? are there any pictures of the minis out there?

If not, is there any other suitable figure available yet?

Thanks in advance

Tom

French Turkos tended to wear very baggy trouser with gaiters, not sure about what leg attire you were after for the Sudenese, but Sudenese Egyptians wore tighter trousers in Mexico in the 1860s (see the QRF site for a 15mm example)...  ???

Have you had a look at Crimean Turks or from the Russo-Turkish war?

Thanks for the links.  I think I will get a pack and paint them up. Should be something different for the table.   Its only money right?
