Now there has been talk of camels and humps, but I definitely do not have the hump now. I decito go nato black for the Arab. Then I used Tamiya weathering master burnt blue on the black, then highlighted a bit with snow. And I think you will agree the result is... 
good enough for me. Any suggestions about what I can make the reign out of? |

Now that is a huge improvement Tommy, well played indeed Sir  As for the reigns, there are a few things you do: Tamiya tape folded over itself and cut to width and length. Whisky/Wine bottle foil cut into thin strips. Very fine cotton thread or yarn (waxed type, this isn't hairy).  |

Thanks Paul and Boots. I think I am covered. Going to have a look at Lawrence of Arabia tonight and see what sort of reigns they used.

So, after watching Lawrence of Arabia, stick in the right hand and a colorful reign in the left.  |

Cheers, snipersmudge. The rider didn’t sit perfectly so padded his underside with some tissue paper. Should be good enough.

Next up is Miniart Soviet infantry tank riders. First figure done, took a lot of cleaning up but the results are worth it. Just need to add a weapon strap on the machine gun.  |

Those tank riders sets are very good, they go well with all kits of the proposed vehicle they're supposed to be on |
