Found a sprue of the plastic Perry ACW Zouaves. Crumpled baggy trousers had to go. I managed to fill the creased bits in with putty, and filed off almost all the frippery, water bottle, bread bag and associated straps, plus the knee bindings. Just one belt for the cartridge pouch and a waist sash to hide any remaining shell jacket bottoms and fix the sheathed katana. Unceremoniously plonk on a Bac Ninh Nirayama head. Allow to dry and then paint. I'll post photos when I have based them. I now have three extra for the Aizu to fight off those dishonourable Satsumas and their rotten Choshu allies. I think two of them look the part. The third is a bit dodgy. Perhaps too much rice wine, and a night in the paddy field.

Yes, but I have been sidetracked with 40mm AWI for a friend. I think he is planning both armies in entirety. Seems that way with all the painting.

Perry Zouaves plastic infantry, any flouncy detail such as lace removed, greenstuff pantaloons with a flap at the front, and insignia cloth on the left arm.. Bac Ninh heads. I think of myself as a straight line model maker, and these were not straight.

Got the idea from this illustration, and from No yae sakura.
