Great hospital, like the work you have done

BurtWolf, wonderful destructive building. Nice!

Pibber, great ambulance corp!

Thank you for sharing. I will have to post some pics of my recently painted modern micro armor. 7.62, you should recogonize the paint scheme.

7.62 that hospital kept growing and growing! Looks awesome. What are the Quonset huts made of? They look very good.

I recently found a cover to an HO coil car that worked well as a long quonset hut and it looked great.

7.62 - very nice Field Hospital buildings. The 40th and 77th

. I think your Hospital could easily be back dated with some GHQ-US84's (dodge ambulances). To bad no one makes the H-13 Sioux. After a quick look I don't see it from any 1/285th or 1/300 scale model makers (GHQ, H&R, CnC, Raiden/I-94,or Scotia) This is really not surprising as it was not a 'combat' helo and that is what is in demand from most gaming customers.

Keep up the nice work

Not the greatest photo, sorry, but shot of my "Falaise Gap" bombed out convoy... Had some spares and added plastic doors and other ephemera to the vehicles as well as small debris field. Probably should add some dead horses at some point.

My kid rolls up all the change in the house and banks it.
Last week she could not find the little plastic coin rolls for the "dimes"

Bit of green stuff putty and a lick of paint.

Chris to answer your pm. It's all hand made.

Containers and passageways are bits of Evergreen plastic.

Same for the fold-out units with a bit of putty.

RedLeif, thanks. A Bell 47 Sioux would be a welcome addition but that would be beyond my skill set.

The field hospitals look amazing. Stumbled across this photo of a field hospital set up during one of the Reforger exercises. Would make for an awesome diorama.

StVR101, thanks for the photo. That is just the kind of look I was going for.
I was 99% sure I had seen rounded tents used in a Field Hospital in Germany in the past.
Nice to know some of my grey matter is still working.

Mmm... think I need a few more ambulance.

Upgraded cold war radar site "Drum" covers the low flat land to the East.
Giving a bit of a lift to the dish helps improve performance.

The low sun casts a shadow of the covered op center bunkers.

7.62,
Amazing work. I bet you could take a pic of your creation and put it on a field and you may be able to fool everyone, perhaps all the time. Next time we trade, I want some hospital stuff. It looks great.
I also like your radar/communication tower. Fabulous!

Chris

Thanks Chris, I'll see what I can do.
I have been asked to make another complete Hospital, I need to pick up some more square tubing (plastic).
If there is interest here for 2 more complete hospital units I would try casting in plastic. All part are quite large (I have one of each still) so should be easy and more cost effective.

This is what I've been asked to rebuild. Field Hospital but without my poor painting!
Just pm if interested, thanks.

I send you some Ratels......
Well, okay, maybe not.

As I understand it, Australia received their carrier, so is it finished, Is it ready for the shake down cruise, the air wing & system testing. Ready for deployment.

To the hospital..... may be cool to have.

A good rendition of a modern hospital except for one detail. The rounded tents (what seem Quonset huts) are actually air infÃ²ated tents so should have no opening on top.

In the photograph I see the hospital on the right (rounded inflated tents and and containers) while the standard tents on the left are for the personnel. There are no red crosses on them.

Cama

what are "porta-potties"?

7.62 · Post by **7.62** » Sun Dec 07, 2014 5:07 am

"The porta-potties in lime green are needed, too"

Can't you see my shovels against the main door?
The BSDF is not so soft as to have porta-potties.
"Shovel recce" for everyone, even if you have a broken leg

Special provisions have been made for the civilian government in time s of war.
Their remote bunker is basic but well supported.
The PM has his own bathroom.
