"15mm Zouave Artillerymen" Topic

Does anyone know of a company that makes 15mm ACW artillerymen dressed as Zouaves?

I was also wondering if anyone makes a Zouave officer mounted on a horse?

Perhaps use FPW French. As I recall, their artillerymen had a zouavish look.

Were there even any Zouave artillery regiments?

Not that I am aware of.

I do like the idea of some Zouave Officers on horse back – and might be nice to have an artillery crew or two

There were a few Zouave Artillery Units according to one Zouave website

They might be nice for painting and researching, but I don't recognize any of those units as ones that did any major fighting in any noteworthy battles or campaigns. Most look very early war.

I'm not knocking anybody that likes to paint up early war militia and colorful uniforms. Troiani has a whole book on them. They just weren't "mainstream" or did any real fighting with popularly painted armies.
