Mahdist Camels

I have a few older Connoisseur casting to try out so have completed 5 of theses.I soldered the riders in place as there was not much surface area for gluing in place.  I really like the look of the camel it is well designed, The running ones have some real movement in them. They are done a basic Yellow Ochre Humbrol 83 colour and highlighted up using Vallejo Yellow Ochre and a White mix , this is applied slightly thinned to the higher areas that need defining. The falling one is a straight casting no work required. The riders are a basic casting without loads of detail, and are done with a white undercoat and the skin tone is a Humbrol Leather 62 washed on , and then given a further wash of a flat brown. The jibbah is washed with a thinned Vallejo khaki or Andrea linen white colour  and then the tops highlighted with a neat white. Coloured patches added. They were quick to do and that was the real test , as these will be the first of around 150 that will be added to the collection - and it is the mass that will really impress.
