...Jon,<br /><br />No Zouaves in this army (at least so far). <br /><br />I've always had mixed feelings about zouaves uniforms. They're colorful, yes...but sometimes they look a bit silly (Just my humble opinion). The Sash & saber figs that I could see on their site, fall into this category for me: big pantaloons and red caps with tassles. I like for my figures to look suitably Glennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03336147929636057123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-935030577322550427.post-1038223278377203772010-05-15T20:48:26.497-07:002010-05-15T20:48:26.497-07:00Ah, row 2.

I sometimes charge a little more if the figures require a more elaborate paint job, and I give some discounts on large commissions.<br /><br />But after this current commission is done, I probably won't take any more work for a while. I just do this to fund my hobby, so my wife won't roll her eyes at me every time I make a Scott MacPheehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06239377268695489971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-935030577322550427.post-90824447979569244062010-05-15T13:54:09.336-07:002010-05-15T13:54:09.336-07:00Hmm.
