Charging bravely!
As conspicious as the white summer pants were at least he has the cover for the fez ;)

Looks good! I have a Zouave fetish myself, not got around to painting any of mine yet.
I am going to build a wargames army, a big beautiful wargames army, and Mexico is going to pay for it.

Looks good. I think the Lebel rifle looks a bit too short.
Were not the gaiters white?

That is whining at a high level. ;)

Thanks guys!
Zouaves do bring dash and color to the table and is a favorite unit of mine too.
The gaiters were white during the Franco-Prussian war but later changed :)
