Camel Corps continued...

Back to my hobby...apologies for not posting sooner...job...work and all that stuff...plus breaking my wrist in 8 places...nice!

So to kick off a new era...here are a new batch of inspirational images, photos, models and prints regarding Britain's first special forces...the Desert Camel Corps...

Camel Corps in Red Serge uniforms...

Modelling magazines'...front covers for inspiration...Military Modelling, Wargames Illustrated and Practical Wargamer...

Greetings all...

I for one am someone who thinks now and again...as often as you can...should say thank you...

Also we should regularly salute our pears - give thanks to those who have given us the space to find our passion in life and honour those who have both inspired us and given us the inspiration to step forward into our own sphere of discovery...oh how deep is that!

Anyway...one of mine - and I say one meaning an abundant of influences - has to be our hobby magazine front and back covers...

We thoroughly enjoy reading the articles - flicking through the pages and pages of pictures, sketches, line drawings...interpretations - dioramas etc etc...but the one spark that ignites our passion is that of the front cover...

It is especially true of those of use who enjoy the 19th century history...

It is even more stimulating simply because in the days of old...pre internet...magazine editors...cover specialists - did not allow or would not give over this scared of space to Colonial, Empire bashing - late 19th Century history...thus did not cover this genres...

However, when they did...it is with such impact that I have to say thank you and commemorated...and now in this sharing world...shared!

The images below are not all that have appeared over the years - just those that I happen to own...

Military Modelling

Wargames Illustrated...

Some of the wonderful inside page images of Sudan by the late Great Peter Guilder...

Military Illustrated...

A sneaky back page of Military Illustrated April/May 1988; Fred Burnaby 1885...to finish with...

More will follow...promise

Colonial - Waterloo 1815 - mounted officers

Here's a thing...one man's minus is another man's plus...

We would like to have seen the officers on a separate sprue, allowing fewer of them to be in the set...agree with the note relating to the Gordon figure...

However, too many of one thing can be a feast...I do like Waterloo's Anglo-Egyptian Army...esp. with all its officers...here's a few I painted earlier...

Artillery major and battalion commander from the Highland Regt. Arms from German WW1 infantry here and the sword arm from the Egyptian officer here...

My major of the Indian brigade appeared in an earlier post here

I'm back on my travels again...but this time I will not neglect my mates around the world...greetings dear all...hope all is good with you and your families...

Cheers

Duncan

PS - have a look here at some more Officers...this time Egyptian...from Uwe's superb models...
