A happy world camel day (June 22) to you all.
I shall be painting my TB line light camelry today - or at least the beasts.
Having looked at a lot of online photos I observe the following.
* Camels come in a range of colours fomr pale cream to brown-ish sand.
* The predominant colour is sand (a good basecoat).
* A very pale grey undercoat works well with this.
* Face, under neck, front legs and upper chest are lighter tone.
* Ears, back centreline, back legs and rear abdomen are slightly darker.
* Dark detail around nose, mouth and around eyes.
I hope to get the general look correct while providing a bit of variation in colour.
I also want to convert the riders with spears so they are carrying long jezzails.
Wot, no zamburaks? :)
