I think all the guys out there would have been playing and collecting ACW would have at some time if not already have this fine regiment in their collection – 5th New York Zouaves. Well this is the second time I have painted the unit and added it to my own collection. The last time was over 12 years ago and they were Old Glory 1st edition, still a fine figure, but I have since moved those old boys on and have again painted more but this time from the very nice Perry Plastics ACW range.
My grand planned is to paint another Zouave Unit – 10th New York, who were brigaded with 5th NY during the Peninsular, 2nd Manassas and Maryland Campaigns…now that would make a fine Brigade.
Superb unit, well done.
Looking great mate. Might have to leave it at my place Friday so I an look after it.
Splendid, really splendid!
Very impressive!
Came across your blog via TMP. Stunning unit. In fact you have a wonderful collection on here and I particularly like the Ottomans – could you up load a post with many pics of your Ottoman Army?
Thanks for the comments fellas..they took me a bit of time to paint and I really did not enjoy it…..however I am going to paint another in regiment in the next month or so.
Thanks again
Vinnie
DadExtraordinaire,
If you look down the the left side column there is a label for 'Old Glory' it has all the Ottomans on there.

Those are just lovely, Vinnie. I particularly like the command group and the officer.
Cheers, Simon
That's a great looking unit!

Great looking unit. Your painting is really top notch.
I have a unit of the Perry Plastic Zouaves painted up as the LA tigers. I need to get a few units of Union Zouaves done up
splendid!
Very cool unit, lovely painting. Everyone needs a unit of Zouaves. Best, Dean
Outstanding work. Just the right amount of contrast in the face highlighting. Well done.
Fantastic Zouaves Vinnie!
Thanks again for the great comments. I have just ordered the next lot from Pery Miniatures in metal so am looking forward to painting the 10th New York National Zouaves.

Vinnie
They loved their zouave uniforms back then and so do we now. Splendid!
Excellent Vinnie
Excellently done. I love them.
