...and while planning its recovery (as it has seen better days)...I received an email from those lovely people at Sierra Toy Soldier...I have used them a number of times for my fathers 54mm Napoleonic collection...
And guess the subject of the email...the Nile Wars!
Oh heck - these great figures are from the new and latest editions to Britain's War on the Nile rang...if only I lived in a hanger!
Take a look...I am sure you will enjoy the images
Dervish Infantry
Britians Camel Corps
Egyptian Infantry - Summer dress
Battle of Tamai March 13, 1884
York and Lancaster Regiment
The whole rang is listed here...

Duncan, my good man,
ReplyDeleteAn inspiring thread. I often thought about making my own Nile steamer, but right now my hands are full working on the Camel Corps, and other subjects. Nevertheless, a very inspirational post.
Love the blog. I check for updates every day. Thanks for posting links to my ETS posts! I'm happy someone else is enjoying my models.
Cheers,
SM Mannix
