Does anyone know if it is possible to use the camel corps (CBR27+28) from the colonial range for the first world war camel corps in Palestine (at least for the british part)? The uniforms are looking very simliar to me, maybe a different painting would do?

I don't think Peter will do a Great War Camel Corps, its a bit too exotic...

You're quite right with both questions!

Yes, it's quite possible to do a 'conversion by paint brush' with CBR27 and use the wee chaps perfectly well for the Great War.   In fact there's one or two have already done so.

As a result I decided not to duplicate the effort with the recently released Middle East Brits.

Any Arab irregular camelry for the Howeitat in the pipeline?. Would be nice to have Lawrence on a camel in his Arab headdress. 


Through the travail of the ages Midst the pomp and toil of war Have I fought and strove and perished Countless times upon this star.
So as through a glass and darkly The age long strife I see Where I fought in many guises, Many names but always me.
So forever in the future Shall I battle as of yore, Dying to be born a fighter But to die again once more.

No plans as such, but maybe one day the whimsy may come and hit me...
