1879 Pacific war llamas

[Trebian]

I see that there are no llamas in the current animals range, consequently the Pacific War range is bereft of the appropriate fauna. Any chance this might be rectified?

I'd buy a few llamas for my Inca army.

It would take a bit of work, but couldn't you get a passable 10mm llama by filing the hump off a camel?

Llama drama?

[FierceKitty]

Considerable difference in height.

Trim tje legs may be, or buy baby camels ?

[Chris Pringle]

Is the difference enough to matter on the tabletop? At 1.8m high, a llama is probably taller than the average 1879 Peruvian. How much higher would a Pendraken camel's head be than the top of the Peruvian infantryman's kepi? If you keep your camellamas at the far end of the table, does perspective solve the problem?

Llamas have long(-ish) necks that go straight up. Camels . . . don't.

[Chris Pringle]

But Pendraken camels ... do. (I looked at some pictures first.)

Anyway, just a suggestion, take it or leave it!

What about the alpacas?

[DecemDave]

How about using the does in NML-12 (or go up to 15mm)?   Use some dry brush/texture paint to get a shaggy effect?  I'm sure those necks could be persuaded to straighten a bit.

Pleased to see you now have photos of the 1879 range to view now.  They do look very good.  It is a shame there are no llamas yet available, I do hope you will add some.  Will also be useful for earlier periods too as has been mentioned.

Mentiion it to Phil, after all he does very little

Having visited Techno Towers I can confirm with first hand that Techno  is very busy. everywhere were little green figures, THOUSANDS of them. But i did not see any Llamas, Alpacas', Echidnas, Duck billed platypi . or Cows
