Responsibility details are not available.
A set of figures in 1:72 scale devoted to the British camel corps from the period of the First World War. Besides the characters it contains the riding animals as well, so from it you will build a whole patrol or column, not just a foot addition. It is made by the firm Strelets; the castings are of soft plastic of a uniform color and are supplied unpainted and unassembled.
On the Middle Eastern and North African battlefields of the First World War the British army ran into terrain where both wheeled and horse transport failed. A camel carried a load, stood up to long marches without water and managed a sandy surface, so units on camels became practical reconnaissance and movement formations. The fighting from them was as a rule done dismounted, with the animal serving mainly for movement. For a modeler it is a subject with a very characteristic silhouette that cannot be mistaken for anything else.
The camels are decisive with this set: they are larger than the figures and draw the eye first. Paint them separately, ideally from sand and light brown toward lighter transitions on the neck and the belly, and accent the coat on the humps with a dry brush. Set the harnesses and the load apart with brown leather and canvas in a khaki shade. The riders' uniforms keep rather to light desert tones; then add the contrast with a dark wash into the folds, not with black paint. Make the base under the scene from fine sand and apply the same fine dust in the form of a dry pigment to the animals' legs and to the figures' boots as well, so that the scene holds together. Before painting, wash the plastic with detergent and prime it, and fix it at the end with matte clear.
The set is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
