The French seemed to like having as many black straps as the British had white The jacket and trousers had a second coat and when the paint has dried the yellow braiding will be painted.

Yo Jeff sorry mate lol, looks like they are going into battle with a double bed, a kitchen sink, and all the pans on their backs. Did they knock off for a dinner break half way through the battle lol, have a quick game of poker, sound like good union men to me. Just having one of those funny moments should pass soon.

Great figures and a great paint job. I'm a real sucker for the blue and red French uniforms. I am not a uniform and equipment expert but it appears that one could put a Lebel rifle in their hands, get rid of the cap pouch, add 2 front cartridge pouchs like the one on the back, and voila, you have WW1 Zouaves. Yes, the equipment and uniforms underwent minimal external changes between the Crimea and the Marne. Gotta love the French. -- Al

Rifles painted in dark brown and slings in black. I painted the yellow braiding on one figure to see what it looked like............

I agree with you Simon : really nice !

 

[kogu]

After an intense/serious inspection of the painted braiding I will have to agree with Simon and Michel.
Jeff, you're good to go, please continue
