Preview! 75mm French Zouave

[zane666]

Hi Watford I will be at Oundel and yes I do take pay pal I should have the Zaouve for then too. I don't have a stand but Richard from Oakwood studios lets me put a few kits on his stand. If you want anything sooner then please PM me. The Zaouve will be £32.00 the other two are £28.50.

Martin he is alone at the moment but we do have an zaouve officer coming out very soon which will look good with him. we may do an opponent but we have other projects in the pipe line.

Cheers guys

Excellent, good news, There are some great figures out there in 75mm that are screaming out for another to complete a vignette.

Cheers Watford yes the Bavarian uniform looks good and would be a great piece to do. Again we are looking at doing more from the Franco Prussian war along with the two we have out now. we have a Zaouve Officer almost finished he is carrying the flag ( was shown on PF a while ago as work in progress from Chris) that should be out by the end of July.

we do intend to do the Germans in due course so watch this space.

cheers

Hi Zane

That's what we thought would be a good vignette very colourful and full of action.

The officer urging the Zouave into a breach... pressing the attack. I like it!!! Then you'll definitely need some kind of Germanic defender to complete the scene.

or even a dead defender at their feet.

Hi zane

I think you've set the scene very well that would look very good in deed.

[zane666]

Hi Zane we are looking at July/ Aug depends on Chris and how much he still has to do on the flag. the Zouave went for casting yesterday so should be with me in the next couple of weeks. will keep everyone posted.

Sweet, that flag does look quite involved, because postage to NZ is not cheap I'll wait for both of them to be available so I'll keep my ears out.

Hi Ian
Can you PM your Paypal address and I'll send you a payment next week for the 3 figures. I am in no rush for the figures at the moment I am painting 28mm NorthStar 1866 wargames figures, so happy to pay now and pick them up at Figure World (FW). BTW do you think you'll have all 4 figures ready for FW, if so let me know the total amount and I'll send it via paypal.
Cheers

Can this piece be converted to a Zouave in WWI. My grandfather fought with the 3rd Zouave Regiment in the battle of the Dardanelles and was also at the battle of Verdun.

Yes I think with a rifle change the rest is just paint. I might be simplifying but to my limited knowledge, the uniform would be Horizon Blue with either dark blue or red trim. You might have to clean the piping off the pantaloons.

A little research will tell
