Mark I Light Ambulance.

It is very pleasing to be asked to make something different. This piece is part of a set of "table dressing". The client's Great Grandfather served with 130th Machine Gun Company in Mesopotamia and was brought up on a charge of hitching a lift on the back of an ambulance without permission. So... here is the ambulance (a scratch bulit Mark I Light Ambulance) with Great Grandad on the back. Figures from Great War Miniatures and Woodbine Designs.

The completed project. An interesting bit of "table-dressing". Figures from Perry, Woodbine Designs, Old Glory, Great War Miniatures, Footsore Miniatures, Mutton Chop and Foundry. Head swaps are everywhere! The tent and piles of boxes are from Grand Manner.

Another "dressing the table" project along similar lines to the Ottoman Medical Aid Station. The end result will be larger than the last. All the figures have had head swaps completed, minor greenstuff work done and a couple of camels have had cacolets added. Below is a Sand Cart Ambulance made from the GWM General Service Wagon driver, draught horses, wheels and draw pole with a scratchbuilt cart body and canopy. The Sand Cart Ambulances employed in Palestine had a wider iron tyre fitted to the wheels. A simple card strip glued round the wheel creates this. Twenty odd figures to come, a tent, two camels, and a lot of clutter.

Here is a real one!
