Sudan Campaigns 1880 - 1898 (1 Viewer)

Martyn, it was an extremely lucky find. Someone had labeled it as Imperial.

Portsmouth 1898, a welcome committee for a small detachment of Seaforth's just back from the Sudan. They will be leaving soon to join the rest of the 1st Battalion in Crete before being posted to India.



Cheers

This looks like the Tradition set if I'm correct?

I recently picked up most of the castings from an interstate seller, so may get it assembled and painted later this year?

I will still need a couple of the gunners on camels, but they are still available from Tradition, so easy fixed :)

These are the castings I got, all I now need is another 3 gunners on camels to make a full set.

Note that the cover photos show 2 camels per pack, but there is only one camel in each pack.
The first pic of the 5 camels have the RA officer, and the 4 gun loads, while the single image is of the mounted RA gunner only, and I now need 3 more of them.

This pic from Tradition show the whole painted set and note the 2 x Palm Trees and 2 x Arab boys following the camel train.
