Here are some Louisiana Zouaves. I am painting these sets as Louisiana Zouaves or Wheat's Battalion also nicknamed Tigers. Some of the Tigers started to wear Straw Hats. The picture below of Wheat's Tigers is not finished.

05-24-2012. I picked up some soldiers that are made by Hat, they are the 7 Years War Prussians in action. Still waiting for the marching set to come in the mail and I will show they in about a week or so. I have some Hat figures but was never really interested in them, until now. I really like what they have done here and the best part is the option they give to change there hats. You can have a Fusiliers, Grenadiers or Musketeers. They are made for the & Years War as Prussian Infantry, but can be used as a Hessian for the American Revolution. Or as a stretch as French Infantry for the French & Indian War. You get 18 figures, 18 hats for Musketeers, 9 hats for Grenadiers and 9 hats for Fusiliers. Still waiting about a web page change, but for now I will work with what I have.

05-01-2012. Got back from Gettysburg yesterday, went to the Gettysburg Toy Soldier Show on 04-29-2012. I was nice, my girlfriend even won the door prize ( =. Had a feeling that she would. We got there a little late in the day, drove about 2 & 1/2 hours to get there. We stay in Gettysburg after the show and looked around the town & battlefield. Stayed overnight and to make it a mini get away. There were some nice setups of Toy Soldiers, had a mix of plastic and metal painted figures. Saw a few Barzso Playsets, that I had or didn't want to spend the money on right now. I picked up a few Indians from Marx & an another British company. Also got a painted Mounted Native American Indian from Blackhawk. Got a good deal, I post some pictures of the figures that I got over the weekend. Here are some pictures of the show.
