Title: US Zouaves against CS Zouaves
Post by: cheng on October 26, 2006, 05:19:13 AM: I have always wanted to make them but never did because I thought it wasnt possible...until I was inspired by Craig's "ACW Union Zouvre"

and this is dedicated to you Craig...hope you like it too!

I'll keep hunting for those more correct Fez(s) ;D
(sorry for the poor lighting and bad focussing, as usual :P )

Great little diorama.

Thanks for sharing, Cheng.

All the best,
Richard

or Wikipedia (Quote) "Zouave was the name given to certain infantry regiments in the French army, as well as to units in other armies which imitated the dress or drill of the French zouaves'

Craig

thats ok Craig...(your mix up)...it was quite evident ;D no need to apologise ;)

as for bordom....luckily for me, its very hard to buy PM here....almost all of my purchases are from overseas....otherwise i'll probably have 4 or 5 times the PM i now have...(i am still waiting for my Romans...bought in sept but arriving in Dec...and only 2 sets....i'm seriously pulling my brakes on Romans...very difficult to do)
