Looking for handful or two of desert-hardy, robed fellas (Bedouin and Taureg), with firearms, who are willing to travel far, far away … YouTube link
YouTube link No. I mean REALLY far, far, far away … TMP link

TMP link So far, I am only aware of Peter Pig's Range 22 and Black Hat's Napoleon in Egypt: peterpig.co.uk/range22.htm
link Any other suggestions? Thanks. Dan
PS. I have conversions in mind. The robes are not the easiest part to do, so I might as well start with well-sculpted robed figures and then just convert the weapons. |

The Tuaregs from Minifigs are all armed with rifles and foot in a variety of positions reminicent of Airfix. They offer both horse and camel mounted as well. Stone Mountain are 15mm and small by current standards. |

Are Minifigs' taller than most? link For me, the taller the better. Thanks. Dan |

The side by side reviews offered by Extra Crispy are useful. link There you will find the manufactures whose figures reach 17/18mm. Are not the plastics currently 20mm? Their Arabs might be the size you could be looking for.
Cheers,

"Are Minifigs' taller than most?" Not really; that's an older range. Comparisons of the remastered Napoleonics will not guide you there. Allen |

I have some Stone Moutain Miniatures arabs/bedouins/tuareg from their French Foriegn Legion line.
Good figs, active poses, no flash, and good detail.
I would recommend them. |

Thanks, everyone. I got my GZG sprues for head swaps, so now it's time for me to order the Arabs/Bedouins/Tuareg. In the next few weeks I'll let you guys know how it turns out. Dan

I have sold a lot of the Minirfig Colonial range and the stone mountain Arab range in the past 25 years. |

A couple of minutes ago I sent Stone Mountain an email, asking if they would consider selling me one of each foot variant in their Bedouin/Tuareg/Arab range (no duplicates). If that doesn't work, I'll consider other options. Will keep you posted. Thanks. Dan |
