I have some of the old hinchcliffe baggage camels which do for all sorts of periods.
I think hinds figures do these now - www.hinchcliffe.co.uk

Try Castaway Arts - great baggage camels - you can see them painted up in photos from my 3 latest games here: http://wargaming.info/

Link to the relevant page: http://www.castawayarts.com.au/catalog/catalog_main.php?cmd=groupload&group=18 I heartily recommend the Camel Caravan & the separate Baggage, Water, and Ambulance Camels. They are 100% even better than the photos make them appear...  :)

Works fine for me David!  :)

As mentioned I also have pics in the following game reports - which include the Camel Caravan, Ambulance Camel, as well as the Baggage & Water Camels pictured on your site, and a few other odd camels (Castaway & another brand) that are suitable for baggage service as well.  :)


The Castaway (Baggage) Camels really are the best ones around IMO... Hopefully both our pics help out VonAkers.

You can never have too many baggage camels. The greater the variety of sources and sculpts the more varied your train will look.

Don't forget to get some native camel drivers too. I like the Chaos in Cairo arab civilians.

I have been working on Malaumte's Boot Hill wagon with some African cattle from Foundry (I guess Empress' ones would work, too!).
