The motorbike fits in fine Colin! Besides the chinese did make counterfeit versions of that boxer for their military so its not a stretch one could very well have found its way into a Mash unit over in Korea. Looking forward to the next update,cheers Trey

I agree with Trey, the bike looks great and looks the part, am also liking the tin of yellow paint sat on it's seat too...

As Oliver once said "please Sir, may we have some more"...:great:

Excellent attention to detail, I too like the bike and the tin of paint is a nice touch.

I have the last episode, unfortunately it's on vhs....What a tear jerker, anyone who doesn't cry whilst watching it is made of stone!!!!!

I know it's on DVD, but I've only seen it with the complete box set.....Is it available on it's own?

Sorry for the slight distortion of your superb thread.....

Thank for the comments chaps ... much needed confidence wise after battling with all the figures

Trey ... i like the theory .... i'll go with that!!!!

Ron .. It's only available as far as i know as the 3rd DVD in Season 11 box set, i've not seen it as a stand-alone or it would have made it's way into my collection

I'm now on the case of making the items that some of the corpsmen will be carrying, trays of bandages, bedsheets etc .... should be fun.

As i said above i'm getting some female figures to improvise as nurses, just waiting for john to get them in stock for me.

Then it'll be finishing off the base with odds and sods like log piles, boxes, auto parts etc strewn around. need to sort a couple of wood-burners for the tents ... the list goes on

[Guest]

got one corpsman done, he's in situ now but just a piccie to show whats on his tray.

bandages are thin strips of kitchen roll

scalpels are thin soldering wire with ends squished and trimmed to shape.

stethascope you've seen previously, twin core wire with earbuds made from blobs of glue then painted.

Youch Colin all this must take an age all that great detail plus imagination.

No wonder I stick to aircraft structured with simple follow me instructions.

Really have not the patience to accomplish such things. Model making really is diverse.

Fantastic Colin. I can see everything going into this with no detail spared, right down to the rat scurrying along a beam somewhere.

Keep up the good work

[Guest]

thanks Andy

right down to the rat scurrying along a beam somewhere

there's already little chicks near mulcahys tent. got to get some more chickens. there'll be rabbits hanging up somewhere and I might have a bash at a scratched rat just to keep you happy

[Guest]

Lol. Dont forget the dominos, deck of cards and i cant wait to see you paint those scrabble tiles at that scale hehe.

Great work Colin loving watching this come together

[Guest]

Your attention to the detail is surprising, is a challenge to try to discover what you will construct tomorrow.

It's addictive!

Cheers

I like that corpsman with his blank & those great creases in his jacket. That shelf unit is just in perfect harmony with the character of the diorama.

Time to resurrect this as it needs finishing off. I'm not starting the Valley Forge Ship yet as there's too much unfinished plastic lying around for my liking and i'm usually a "one model at a time" sort of guy.

So then, it need some livestock so i painted a donkey that came with a farmyard kit, made up the little farmers cart and accessories from the Churchill kit and will be starting to fill in all the little needed items in the diorama (including Andys dominoes )
