You can also check Pepe Gallardo's site in the gallery section, i think is www.timeline.es ,has a scratch camel corp painted and photos of every ungle of the figure.

I don't think the figure exists in 100 mm but I may be wrong

The mounted camel corp was part of the 65mm grieve's series

i think your correct, i have just bought one online, but its in a different pose than the one i was thinking of, both rider and camel, so grieve must have made 2 different camel corps figures in 65mm scale./badger

David Grieve only released one in 65mm. There was a short lived resin figure of a camel corps in 120mm scale but I can't remember the name of the manufacturer. It was back in the early 1990's & I think the same company specialised more in figures of modern British figures and were based in Scotland.

Sorry I can't be any more specific.

Thinking about this a bit more and the manufacturer might have been Scotia.

Hi Badger
Sorry for delay but looking for my book.
I don't know of a 100mm by David.
I have all the masters for his Napoleonics and 90mm, another company has his later 110mm and 65mm and Jon of Hawk miniatures carries his Nelson, Hussar and some other item.
The book is the paperback military figures book, military model master class and has 1 or 2 pages on David and the 65mm camel corp figure painted by him.
As said if I can find it will post the pic
Best wishes

I have most of 65mm and 100mm original grieve figures, only two in 65mm are mounted, the camel corp and the 16th lancer fron alival.there is only one camel corp in both series
