Bikaner Camel Corps
« on: December 29, 2014, 02:51:27 PM »
Some simple conversion work... Perry Sudan Camel Corps figures with Woodbine heads with added grey stuff, Woodbine Indian rifle section with grey stuff additions and a Perry Sudan British Officer on foot with a Woodbine head. Coming soon to a Suez Canal game near you!





This is why we chose the white uniform rather than the more probable Indian Khaki.

Great job! What are you going to use for the Sanussi tribesmen?

We would need Woodbine bare heads and to sculpt Arab head dress from grey stuff. Possibly get away with using same Perry Sudan Sudan CC figures as a basis. A bit like these magnificent chaps? http://www.ottoman-uniforms.com/s/cc_images/cache_16322534.jpg?t=1366922995

Why not using at least some of the Woodbine Turks in Arab headdress?

Woodbine Ottoman Turks will be fine for dismounted types. I was thinking here about the blokes on the camels.  ;)

Have you seen these guys? I am not sure how good they are since I have not purchased the minis nor seen them "in the flesh"...:
