Minis in the works - Perry Miniatures Zouaves

Let's continue with the other little men on my bench. I've bought the Perry set of ACW Zouaves in 28mm. They rock !, although I would have prefer the box to contain more poses.  Anyway I played with those dwarfs and made some conversions. You can do quite a nice range of different units, from confederate to union states. I've planned to make several vignettes depicting some of those units, including the famous Louisiana Tigers (which will involve heavy modifications).

Painted in enamles and oils, it's a real pleasure to play with the colorfull uniform. Those 2 will pertain to the 74 New York volunteers infantry regiment.

Of course feel free to leave a comment on my post for any suggestion/remark you may have !!

Duryee Zouave

And the story continues,

This Pegaso Civil War Duryee zouave is the first 54 hitorical miniature that I have completed. I wasn't particularly thrilled by this figure, especillay when looking at the Pegaso art box that does not make justice to the figure. In fact I bought it because I initially wanted the Elite Tiger Zouave, and Pegaso is forcing customer to have a minimal amount for orders. I then decided to complete the zouave collection with a guy from the North.

This larger scale (I'm used to paint 1/35 figures) allows more details on the face, and the specific Duryee zouave uniforms offers great possibilities from the red and blue parts.

The figure has been done in enamel and oil. I wanted to give him an harrassed look, having a glance at the field after some bloody battle. The quality of the picture is not that good, but I try to make progress in this technical field as well.

Best,
