Ralf, these look great! :)  I love the different colored uniforms (I didn't realize green was utilized!) and the natives look great.  This is one of my favorite periods as well.

I wasn't sure how to solve the problem of grey-blue uniforms for the Camel Corps, so here are two different versions:

The upper is better for my

Great work

Post by: WarriorOfToys on September 05, 2010, 03:28:31 PM
I like the lower ones... The darker blue is nice.
But I don't know what they would have looked like in period. ???

Great job, they are magnificent! :)
Title: Re: Sudan 1881 - 1898
Post by: Justindo on September 05, 2010, 08:32:09 PM
Nice customs, Ralf!  I personally prefer the lighter tunics, as they are more subdued and not quite so bright, but both look good.
Title: Re: Sudan 1881 - 1898
Post by: cheng on September 06, 2010, 06:20:02 AM
I prefer the more faded pale blue...that grey-blue as far as I'm concerned  :)
beautiful!  :-*

I'll not make camel corps I'll not make camel corps I'll not make camel corps I'll not make camel corps I'll not make camel corps I'll not make camel corps I'll not make camel corps I'll not make camel corps I'll not make camel corps I'll not make camel corps I'll not make camel corps I'll not make camel corps  :P

p.s. can anyone identify the original klickies with the pale blue and the strong blue torsos?

@cheng: pale-blue - someone working for customs at the airport (after rubbing away his tie), strong blue - old police officer (probably late 1980s)

Some naval and Sudanese troops.

To the camel corps tunic: I have read it was a light gray blue, so the former variant seems more suitable for me although the pockets of the darker ones are nicer. Another advantage of the first variant is that they do not have to wear white gloves. I am not sure if such gloves were used or not but I rather imagine them without gloves, at least bright white ones.

I like the last set especially.
@ cheng: as the Sudanese are for the later Kitchner campaign they are out of my focus

But HOW could geobra design all these great new torsos with such misplaced pockets :-P?

Thanks for building this theme

BTW, to my own great delight I found out today that www.britishbattles.com (http://www.britishbattles.com) has finally added a section about the egypt and sudan campaign (http://www.britishbattles.com/egypt-1882/tel-el-kebir-1882.htm) and a few new pages about other campaigns.

The charge is in the second half of the clip.

Wonderful ideas for figures in that movie!

I always fancied making an armoured train!
