US Zouaves against CS Zouaves

[cheng]

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) 
(sorry for the poor lighting and bad focussing, as usual  )

I really like both your Yankee Zouaves and your Louisiana Tigers!

Great little diorama.

Thanks for sharing, Cheng.

All the best,
Richard

Those Union troops could very easily be French troops in Mexico.

Viva Maximillian!!

nice soldiers cheng, though I got some Zouaves myself, I have to ask a simple, maybe dump question: what r Zouaves?

Brilliant Cheng and that is exactly the hat I was thinking of. I have come to a bit of a stop in my modeling at present whilst I have a decent clear out. Will try and post a few things this week regards Craig

hey Craig, you made some Zouaves and you ask who rhey are?     
ok ok..i'm not that smart myself 

just kidding ok....i learnt a lot from you guys and I can't explain this better than 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'

thats ok Craig...(your mix up)...it was quite evident  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)
