HUMP DAY! Celebrating with 2 new Peter Laing Camel Figures

      Finding Peter Laing figures for sale in the U.S.A. is a rare thing. Last week on Ebay there was a lot of colonial British figures. There were only individual figures, most of which I already have. It looked like it was a sample pack which didn't live up to the buyers' expectations. I almost didn't bid on it myself, except the fact there were two camel figures; one of a British Camel Corps figure and another of an Egyptian Camel Corps figure. I plan to save the figures to use at a later time for mold masters.

I am finding my near obsession with Peter Laing camel figures quite disturbing!

New 15mm Peter Laing Figure: Camel Archer

I recently bought a lot of figures on Ebay. There was a large lot of 1st generation of 15mm Minifigs

anicents. But I also noticed what appeared to be three Peter Laing camel archers. In the Peter Laing catalog I have they are listed as: Ancients A407 Nomadic 2 man camel archer.

15mm Peter Laing Armoured Elephant & Armoured Camel Lancer

In the last post I mentioned that I had to work on my photographs. Here are some new photos of the elephant and camel from last post. What's more, I believe the Peter Laing catalog # and description

of the pieces are: A421 Armoured elephant & howdah  and A420 Armoured camel lancer.

15mm Peter Laing Ancient Elephant and Camel Lancer

The last couple of weeks I've been a little under the weather and by the time I'm done with work I haven't have much energy to work on my hobbies. I have been reviewing my blog and how I could improve it.  The photographs needs work. I have been using a cheap camera. So I dug out a HD camera my brother gave me. Below are a few shots taken with it. Next project; lighting!

I also was checking out the most viewed blog posting and find the ones with Peter Laing in the title have the most hits. This leads me to believe what interest in this blog is are the figures themselves, so I will spend more time trying to document PL figures. However I don't claim to be any expert on Peter Laing figures. And so I figure I'll start with two of my favorite figures; an ancient armored elephant and armored camel lancer.  I will continue to work on my photography and try to get better shots shortly.
