A delivery of a small flatpack unit yielded some very useful polystyrene, increasing my preparation capacity significantly. So I thought to make the most of it straight away.
A handful of free hours resulted in the first of the Beja camel riders being prepared for painting.
Since there aren’t any command codes for these troops in the Perry Miniatures’s Sudan range I decided to convert two of the riders to a commander and flag bearer.

| The commander: original figure on the right, and after surgery on the left. The replacement arm and rifle came from the plastic Mahdist Ansar set, and I added a sling cut from tin foil. |

| Surgery complete: the commander holds his rifle aloft. |

| The first four of a unit of twelve. |
