After the failure of the first ACW figure I was attempting as part of a trio, I've decided to abandon the joint thread and treat the other two as one-offs.
This is Verlinden's 120mm Union Zouave, wearing what I believe to be a fairly generic uniform rather than representing a particular regiment.
I've cleaned up the parts and part assembled them, ready for painting:

There were a couple of minor problems. The thin piping around the shoulders and at the back was damaged in several places, so I decided to remove it completely and will paint it on. I also damaged the belt buckle, so removed that and replaced it with a blank oval - again, I'll paint on the lettering. The hammer for the musket was cast separately but was so small that it shattered when I tried to get it off the casting block, so a replacement was made from spare Miniart parts.
There is also a nice base provided:

I also dug out a backpack and blanket roll from the spares box, which I may, or may not use.
