Undercoated figures |
That said I'm hoping to finish on a high with this the first of two batches of figures that I have got ready and here's hoping I can get a third batch done in time for the big stop!

Anyway this post is regarding a second batch of 17th Century Balkan Infantry that I have been able to complete this weekend. First batch was posted as part of this challenge <here>.
Centre of unit, to left of picture is the unit's Officer |
This batch of figures consisted of 22 x 28mm Perry plastic ACW Zouaves, converted much the same way as the first batch, substituting heads from Gripping Beasts' Arab Light Cavalry and Infantry packs and converting a couple of the figures into a Turkish musicians, one with drum and the other with a horn
Focus on the command stand, flag is home made |
A third figure was converted into an officer and an officer to lead the unit, he ha a shield and sword arm added from the Gripping Beast Arab Light Cavalry box and a feather from the Warlord Games Landsknecht box.
Typically I would do a unit of 20 or 24, but with only 22 figures renaming from the pack I allowed each flank stand to be of only three figures, giving the front rank, 12 figures and the rear rank just 10
