All camels base coated, used German Camo Beige and Tan Earth for the browns 

Started green base coat on artillery

Have you ever tried to tan a camel? You can't get it to lie down on the sunbed...

[Techno]

You brought this on your selves!

Best Fraiser quote EVER!

Dearie, dearie me....I clicked on that, expecting to see a clip from 'Dad's Army'. 
(New glasses to be ordered soon !  )

Camels have had lighter 'underside' tone applied and saddle blankets painted

Guns have had a very weathered sand colour applied, allowing the green to show through where the sand paint has 'worn off'

I suspect there won't be much more progress on these today as I have been given a list of domestic tasks that require my attention

Can't really complain after the high painting workload for the last two months and spending the last two weekends working with the Perrys

Will make sure I take some pictures of the Ottoman Arabs I varnished during the week

[FierceKitty]

Ottoman Arabs? My curiosity is much, oh beloved of Allah....

[paulr]

Arab Regiment of the Army of the Ottoman Empire

I wonder if that is 'precise' enough for FK













These, along with my Anatolian regiment, will be used next weekend in or ANZAC game.

No stripy jibbahs or turbans or scimitars? Alas for the memory of the Abbasid Caliphate!

A good-looking unit, Paul. 

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Very nice work.

Excellent little unit; really impressive.

Talking of camels.
Have you seen this pic ?


Looks quite surreal.

Extraordinary photograph !

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Love that shot.

[FierceKitty]

I am impressed. Maybe you can mould us some shadows some day.

(I know how to spell mould, you mindless mechanical moron!)

[FierceKitty]

Not you, Techno, the computer!

I do find that I have to check on the 'spell checker' nowadays.
I know certain words like armor/armour....color/colour....But it's starting to catch me out with American spellings, and I find myself 'trusting' those....and using them from time to time.....Aaaargh !

That, and the preview button still being in limbo (for me, at least) is a pain in the backside.

Great to see this project making progress again. the shadow camels look like flats from the 70s.
