ACW in Old School Style

 
Although I have a ACW army in plastic/metal using Perry Miniatures , I was tempted by a large box of several hundred unpainted Spencer Smith plastic figures on EBay . I had the idea of recreating Featherstones ACW battles . This project has lapsed somewhat ( so much to do and so little time ) , but I got an extra unit of Zouaves in metal and have managed to get them painted .
 
 
Been messing about with various computer programs and came up with this rather pleasing photo effect . Looks very 1960's

    Great looking unit there Sir!

    I have the same figures in my collection only based a little differently!

      Have based them singularly as I am not sure where I'm going with these yet.

      My Zouaves are based singly too but are grouped on magnetic bases.

      They are in the background of the third picture here:
