114th PA Zouave

Only a single figure so far. Part of Sickles advanced line on 2nd July which collapsed under repeated Confederate attack.

The Foundry Zouaves are some of the nicest figures in the range - and I can tell they'll look beautiful as a full regiment. I chose the Collis Zouaves as their uniform is pretty much what the Perrys sculpted. Their uniform is also in the classic zouave style - with Fez, blue jacket and red Pantaloons. I'll scuplt some with turbans to create some variety too.

Painting method (in case any one's interested): Black enamel undercoat - Humbrol 33.

Blue base of Vallejo Dark Prussian lightened with Prussian Blue, highlighted with Prussian / Royal and slight touches of Sky Blue.

Reds - Vallejo Black and Dark Red, Dark Red, Scarlet, Scarlet and Yellow with a touch of white.

Flesh - Plaka Red Brown base, washed with Citadel Brown Wash, lightly brushed with more Plaka to bring out the highlights, then the three part flesh Foundry Paint system. Canvas - The gaiters and cravat are the Foundry Moss set finished off with some Vallejo Light Sand mixed in.

Browns - Vallejo Cadmium Maroon - one of the essential colours in my palette. gradually highlighted with either Beige Brown & Ochre, Citadel Snakebite Brown, or Light Brown, depending on what shade of brown I want.
