I like that elephant custom, WarriorOfToys.  I've toyed with the idea of creating an elephant custom, but decided against it, thinking the results would be disastrous, but seeing yours gives me new hope.  Perhaps the same will hold true for the camel cataphracts.

I hope they work aswell!
I might try making it look better,
but for now it works for wargaming so I am happy with it.

White a little bit of heating you can make it fit.

Making armor for camels is a really cool idea, WoT!  If the horse armor doesn't fit, maybe you can use the technique that Richard called our attention to a few weeks ago in this thread:  GOOD and EASY HOW-TO.  That plastic sheet material looks like it could possibly be made into armor for your camels and maybe elephants, too!

Yes, I had read that post before... but it never crossed my mind for this.
Thank you Indiana! :)
First I will see how the hoarse armor fits then if I don't like it I could try using that plastic!

Sorry Peetje...
I understand what you mean now, I though you were talking about the elephant!
Yes heat treatment is also a good idea that I may wish to try.

Thank you all so much for the wonderful ideas!
When I finally buy some camels I will try out these ideas and let you all know how things are going.
Then you can all see my Cataphract Camels when I find the best way to make the armor fit.
Thanks again!
