Zouave 1870

[Jason W.]

Hello All,

Just finished painting this dude. And if I may "toot my own horn", the pic's do not do it justice. I would have taken closer pic's of the tri-color trim (sorry Dani A.) but in this scale, a close-up, would not be very pleasing to the eye. It looks much better to the naked eye.

Thanks Dani for the uniform information!

Thanks Olly, Bob and Terry. It was a blast to build and paint but was also an exercise in patience. There was ALOT to paint! Much more work than I thought. Not totally satisfied, but pleased.

Toot away Jason! You deserve it. That's the best piece you've done to date. A beautiful job from beginning to end.

Hi Jason

again, another inspirational piece. Cool to post the original manequin and reference artwork for the piece as well.

I agree in that I believe this is your best piece to date.
