Well I got the dog out early and just got back as the rain started - neither the dog or me are keen of the rain. These figures have been awaiting a varnish and I have bought a new tin , sadly not my usual brand - this one smells funny and takes ages to dry ! . The 54mm Zouaves are some I bought from eBay, three of which are quite old and I have decided only to based them and not to repaint them . There is the German Naval Attache and another converted figure which I will tell of later ......
Beautiful figures Tony, and your converted piece looks to be full of gaming potential!
ReplyDeleteShe will be disclosed in a future blog.
DeleteLovely figures, the zouaves are really very nice. The converted figure is an intriguing one, looking forward to seeing what it's all about.
ReplyDeleteThink the zouaves are quite early so I didn't like to touch them, more of her later....
DeleteAlways good to see original Zouaves returning to the gaming table. And they still have their bayonets too! The scratch-built looks interesting.

Yes i was surprised they were undamaged, usually the first thing to snap off !
DeleteInteresting that you use glossy clear yacht varnish, it makes them strong. Have you ever had issues like the yacht varnish activating the existing paint?
DeleteNot had a problem with it , I paint the figures using acrylic paints.
