Nice post. Thanks for sharing. I have a camel on deck. I'm sure this will help

Many thanks for sharing such good in depth SBS Phil.
Your pallet choice is very interesting and works really well and I will be recreating in oil when I take on the Verlinden sitting camel. This will make the blending a longer process.....for the older man.
Great work and following every brush stroke.
Keith

You're very welcome Keith. I'm glad you've been enjoying things so far. I'm also glad you liked the palette. I love those colors and I use those particular colors in almost every piece I paint. (I think I could find a way to get Burnt Umber into anything!).
Looking forward to your work on the sitting camel . Hopefully I'll have time to finish up the saddle and harness and then I'l be able to work on the rider! (Although I'm not in too much of a rush because the base that this thing is going on hasn't arrived yet...)

Regards,
Phil

Wow, what a well done tutorial, Phil.
Thank you so much for all your effort
here. Again, those photos, along with
your text, are just excellent. And hopefully,
you're having a lot of fun with this!

Jayhawk

Thanks Jayhawk - I am having a lot of fun with this piece and I'm really looking forward to seeing it all (hopefully) come together!

Regards,
Phil

Nice tutorial, Phil! Very instructive!

If you drilled out the rider body to save weight and increase mounting stability, and maybe added pins to secure the bits together, I missed it. Not needed?

All the best,
Dan

Thanks much Dan, I'm glad your finding it instructive . Since the rider's body is just a solid chunk of metal, drilling it out would be major hassle, so between that and being lazy (of course ) I'm passing on that particular task, and I'm just going to glue the hell out of it and hope for the best!

An excellent SBS, Phil, nice to see it all coming together. She's looking very much like the mount I rode in Jordan. Thereby hangs a tale.........

Alan

Thank you very much Alan! "Thereby hangs a tale..." Ha - I bet! Should I even dare to ask?

Thanks for an excellent SBS. Since I have Hugo's camel to paint, your SBS will no doubt prove extremely useful when the time comes.

Yes, it is started (glued and filled). For the paint it has to wait till i have finished my current project - metal models officer, artillery a cheval.

Chris

Thanks so much for the kind words Chris. To be honest, the part I'm looking most forward to is the oasis base/vignette I want to put the figure in, so hopefully I'll get to that part soon (along with the accompanying SBS for it)...

Regards,
Phil
