Silver Fox Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 A well composed and executed diorama, it tells a story and sets off the excellent workmanship on the Landie. Fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyot Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 (edited) As an ex British Army (Airborne) Medic (ie original Para Medic!) I must say that you have got the interior and exterior colours, setting and the general feel of the model and diorama 100% authentic, what a fantastic job you`ve done and it brings back memories, some good and some bad, but mostly `character building!' It looks like the `Jack Wagon' from P Company waiting for `customers' at the end of a 10 miler!

The_Lancaster Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 May be dragging up an old topic here but that is a seriously fine piece of scrathbuiliding. The whole vingette/diorama is a very convincing piece and it seems to be a well set piece with an appropriately busy tone for it. Superb work! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent K Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Wow, just seen this, quite extraordinary. Very lifelike and such a fantastic detailed build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeoman1942 Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Great build. It looks just how I remember Ambies. The medic could do with a bit more weight on him for 100% accuracy as most RAMC types tended to the chucky :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firefly Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 A lot of time and effort has gone into all aspects of this build, and it was really worth it to get a result like this. And it's nice to see a believable figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
