Modern Old Toy Soldier Style Zouaves
The transition is complete and the Rebels have now raised a battalion of Zouaves.
The differences between modern toy soldiers and antiques can be small enough and not really important except to antique enthusiasts but to be honest, its the old style sculpting and attitude crossed with the modern toy soldier style painting that I love.
This may not have be the worst mould I've ever made but it certainly isn't my best. While I was cleaning up the castings I found numerous little flaws. Some were the result of sloppy work on the conversion which I was in too much of a hurry to catch let alone fix. Others are due to flaws with the mould which were at least partly due to the way I laid it out. If my intention had been to paint up detailed models, I would have been sunk but luckily, the toy style is more tolerant of small flaws in detail.
Now they just need to learn how to stay in formation and not fall over by going through Base Training and they will be ready for battle. Sumber https://gameofmonth.blogspot.com/
