More 6mm Union stuff, this time the guns and the two 'Zouave' units required for the One Hour Wargames OBs.
Four guns and two units of Zouaves.
To start with I gave the Union one Napoleon, two Parrotts and one 3" rifle I'll do some more Napoleons at some point. I did the Napoleon with a brass barrel and all the other metalwork black. I used VJ Camo Green 894 for the carriages as it seemed a reasonable match for the various shades of Olive Green used irl. The gunners just have the same uniform colours as the infantry.
Ah Zouaves, everyone likes those don't they. I suspect they are often a bit over represented. I did one unit in full gaudy uniforms (iirc based on the New York Regt) - red pants, white gaiters, blue jackets and red fez/caps.
The other unit I did more subdued so they could pass for normal Union infantry at a glance, just dark blue jackets and pants with white gaiters. Not a million miles from some of the states militia uniforms. They got lighter blue fez/caps.
Both these units were good fun to paint and they had a lot less equipment than their regular pals. They also had nice pointy bayonets moulded on. I like shiny bayonets on nineteenth century figures, brings them alive.
That is it for the Union for now, next up, Confederate.
