Follow that Camel - Project Finished

[Hu Rhu]

Thanks for the encouragement. Yes I am still working on it but the project has slowed down slightly as other events in my life have taken centre stage.  I am also waiting a on a new camera.  I have a few things completed but not photographed yet.  Tents are still on the work desk but I hope to have a prototype ready shortly.

I've been eying those Unfeasibly miniatures for a long while. They really do look superb. I also like that many of the foot figures appear to be single piece castings, which always pleases the lazy side.

Great work and thanks for sharing!

Indeed 

I saw some 'in the flesh' both painted and unpainted at Partizan a couple of weeks ago and I can personally vouch for the high quality of the sculpts.

Finishing off my desert village is the Mosque.  A known hotbed of subversion and intrigue, it is off limits to the brave legion.











And here is the local Imam - Mustapha Phagg - exhorting the faithful to Jihad against the accursed infidel.





Next up some casualty markers.

Nice one Gary.

 This is going to be one of my highlights at BLAM this year.

Brilliant, mate.
You are certainly developing a flair for this setting.

That is looking just beautiful. Very well done!

Thank you. I am looking forward to putting it on, although the transportation is starting to worry me slightly. 

That is looking just beautiful. Very well done!

Thanks for the encouragement.

Next up are my casualty markers.  In addition to losing figures each unit can also get shock, which represents the slow undermining of morale as the situation gets ever more dangerous. I have decided to use shock markers made up of a wounded or dead figure to which dice are added to show the amount of shock being carried by the unit. 

Here are some basic markers.



And now with Legion Casualties.



And finally with the shock dice.



I see I still need to work on my camera skills but you get the idea.  I am waiting for my Arab casualty figures to arrive and then I will finish these off.  Next up the rest of my hidden movement counters.

Coming along nicely Gary 

Doesn't matter if you've slowed down a bit, the whole project doesn't look that far off completion 

I do like the printed paper tiles on the side of the mosque, it works a treat 

cheers

Nearly there Gary and it's looking great! 

Transportation: yeah, getting everything into the car and not breaking it can be a test worthy of Mensa! Repacking at the end of the day, even more so

And there's me hoping that you would think that they were hand painted. 

Actually I stole borrowed the idea from Dr Matthias and others.

and if you can find some tan dice...

Bonjour Hu Rhu,

Just stumbled across your thread this morning while looking for forts Middle-Eastern/Indian.

This is a fantastic and inspirational thread and after suffering 20 years of political correctness in the public sector a marvellous hoot to boot!

Cheers,

Paul

Really nice work on the Mosque.  A real change from the usual beige and browns.

Merci Paul. I like a little anarchy in my games.

Thank you.

I have a few more pieces painted along with some more troops and Bedouin casualty markers but not enough time to photograph them before I head off on holiday.  

I do have some more hidden movement markers, this time goat herds.  Here they are:



As the wise man Mustapha Leek says 'May your wells always be free of camel dung'.
