Thanks. Mine was shipped on 26 Nov, so any day. Also, my
Forward Gordon's Scots Grey Guidon Bearer and Gordon Highlander
is tracking to arrive tomorrow along with five other 24th Foot.
Good week it seems.

The Medic cost ~104 GBP plus shipping which was as I recall about 40$.
The Camel Stretcher Bearer was 121 GBP plus 25 GBP shipping.
I’m a little disappointed in the Stretcher Bearer as the camel is much smaller than the Medic’s camel and the wounded figures seem to be about ~2/3 the size of the Medic and other Sudan figures. This does make the two of them together look odd.
I’m also disappointed in the use of twisted wire as rope for the Stretcher Bearer camel. The Medic camel does not use twisted wire, but a single larger strand which looks appropriated. The use of two materials used in different ways as rope also makes the pair together look odd.
While I’m at it I should mention that IMO the wire used and its size on 27002 of which I have several of and 27010 and 27002 was a poor choice.

Correction on the Medic’s camel rope: The wire is wound, but machine wound so appears as a single strand, unlike the Stretcher camel’s rope.
