Send in the Cavalry.

Finally got the Rebel Cavalry done. Also some artillery and a General to command it all.

Send in the Zouaves!

Southern Zouaves in this case.

Wheat's Zouaves. Also known as the Tiger Zouaves.

The colonel. I kept humming"Bananas in Pyjamas" when painting these.

Standard from "Flags of War".

Now I still had a heap of Zouaves figures left over but not enough for a whole unit. If I scraped around a bit and used some spare infantry and artillery men I might just make up a unit. So here is the result.

A hypothetical converged Southern Zouave unit.

Colonel and Colour party from Coppen's Zouaves, Louisiana.

The Home Sentinals, Ibervile Parish militia, Louisiana.

Thomasville Zouaves, Georgia.

Louisiann Cadtes, New Orleans Rifles.

South Carolina Volunteer Zouaves.

Louisiana Turcos, New Orleans Rifles.

Look Away! Dixie Land!

Ok so for the last couple of weeks I have been working away on some Confederate infantry. A whole 73 figures organised into 3 regiments and a Surgeon.

Enjoy.

18th Alabama.

The Colonel.

"Just like squirrel huntn'."

9th Virginia.

Colonel and colour party.

Good ol' boys.

The Surgeon.

4th North Carolina.

"Steady boys, steady!"

"Are they shooting at us?"
