funny scratch
Hi all !
One of my scratch building project, only for fun and... to bring donuts to my US troops during wargaming cession (
) : a GMC 2-1/2 "American Red Cross".
(work based on the GHQ GMC w/tarpaulin US37 : with putty Tamiya and sheet styrene Evergreen)
Pictures before and after...

Both Baccus and Irregular Miniatures do a range of different animals - there are others but these have a good range. Baccus are slightly bigger and plumper and Irregular tend to be small herds on a single base. For those really into gaming the logistics, they do sheep etc too! What North Africa wargame is complete without some camels?!
Can't see GHQ ever getting to these so should be OK to mention.

what a great custom Clubmobile and awesome diorama shots Pibber!
The red cross landed at Normandy shortly after d-day (D+16 iirc). What brave and adventurous women.

pibber that is truly amazing work.
I'd love it if GHQ actually made those, including with the trailer.
How about a call to add a Red Cross Wagon to GHQ's official line?
Maybe add a few Ambulances as well?
I'm working on/trialling some Company level rules that use Medical Company models for handling casualties and putting reinforcements back in to the field, so I can definitely see a use for these

Well ,Pibber i'm very disapointed by your model.
You speak of Donughts but your truck is not an open version, so impossible to play donught in this condition!!! Its only a " Donught transport truck ", not functional and so disapointed...
I hope you will correct this with an open version, but i would like to see the Donughts too, and you should add some special rules, if the truck is destroy it should impact the moral of troops, and there is the effect of hot paste in case of explosion too...
So, i know you can do better...

Kfg: Don' t provoke me kfg, you know I'm capable of anything !
Seriously, I planned to make wooden platforms and create a removable piece with open panels to show the Clubmobile in action, it might be nice ... (see photo below)
(so I'll be able to make the donuts !
)BattlerBritain :
Very good idea (to my point of view). I would love that GHQ makes us UK and German ambulances.How about a call to add a Red Cross Wagon to GHQ's official line?
Maybe add a few Ambulances as well?
I really would like GHQ produces medical service tents and an US WWII field hospital too, but unfortunately I think we aren't sufficiently numerous players or collectors to be interested in the medical unit, so no hope to see a medical antennas complete be created one day ...
Here is a picture of my medical company, medical armored battalion, armored division:
Company HQ (foreground)
- Radio M3HT CHQ + jeep, Kitchen GMC, Dodge 4x4 maintenance.
Collecting platoon (second level)
- Dodge command car (platoon leader) + jeep.
- 2x collecting section: 5 Dodge ambulance.
Clearing platoon (in the background)
- Dodge (platoon leader)
- Dodge 4x4, 2xGMC surgical and tank trailor, 2x GMC medical supply (with tarpaulin) + cargo trailor.
(The three "Weasel" aren't in the medical company TOE's, I use them occasionally for crossing small rivers to transport wounded soldiers. (I have a picture of this equipment used in Germany 1945) )
I formed this medical company because I play the evacuation of the wounded during wargaming and I plan to make tents of a "medium" field hospital like photo below (US field hospital, Ardennes 1944).
Thank you all for yours comments...
Pibber.

Wow, Pibber. You never fail to impress!
And here I was proud of my own approach to adding medical evacuations ... which consists of 1 or 2 ambulance for each of 3 different armies.
You win!

Pibber,
Have you ever considered going into a "partnership" with GHQ -- you make masters, GHQ casts and sells them, the rest of us buy them, and everybody ends up happier!
Just a thought...
BTW, I join the chorus of your "fan club" in praising your work -- once again, BRAVO!!
Regards,
Tom Stockton
