Hello guys after a long time without paint I decide to start this figure as a tribute to my friend Guy Herrick, it is a Zouave from Harton Miniatures in 90mm with a huge standart, the figure is ready to prime and I hope to start the pint process very soon . It's my firs civil war figure, so I don't have too much reference, if somebody could help with some internet links or any pics and color illustrations will be great...
Guy this figure is for you my friend, hope you like it and enjoy the sbs
best wishes

Thanks Ernest. I have to agree with Jay......your talents will do it justice, I am sure. I look forward to the sbs..........especially the flag.

Ernest, I hope all is going well. it's great to see you painting again my friend. This Civil War figure will be a an interesting change from your usual subject matter. Who knows there may be another Civil War figure that needs painting in the future. Hint hint. ~Gary

All the best,
Dan

Hey Ernesto

Good to see you're back at the brushes !

This is a nice piece, sculpted by my good friend Carl Reid. He has done quite a few ACW subjects in various scales over the years. I know you will make a good job of this one. I'm looking forward to seeing your version of that flag!

Best regards

Phil

Ernest Try www.webcom.com/kepi a site devoted to the 5th new york volunteer infantry which has a lot of information on the regiment including a picture of their regimental flag.Aiso there is a fine painting of the standard bearer on page 26 of don trioiani's civil war which I think is the inspiration for this figure.

Hey Peter, thanks a lot for the link, there is a lot of good information and also good pics, I found and illustration art same like the figure pose with the flag...
Now I'm working with the face, still some details to come..
Hope you like it
