Gern's Emergency services GB - Chat thread

[Mini Me]

A similar question.......I plan to have a JU52 on the ground (base) with the cargo door open, ambulance backed up to it, with 2 stretcher men loading a wounded soldier into the plane with an air crewman to receive it. yea or nay ?

[Gern]

One or two figures with (perhaps) a stretcher roping down ... on a slabby rock face was my thoughts on this mate. No other detail included - similar to my SAS figure in concept really
Steve

How about if you entered just the figures for the GB and added your background later in the dios section?

Similar answer to what I suggested to Steve. What if you just entered the 'plane or ambulance to the GB and put everything together in a build in the dios section?

So here's my first draft sketch of what I am going to try for. This will be a bust at 1/9th or maybe 1/6th scale. It may well evolve a little so the "box art" does not necessarily reflect the true contents.

Nice picture John. Which organisation does he represent?

Looks like a Canadian Mounted Policeman to me Dave.
Or the good old "Mounty"

This will be my entry, if that’s ok? I built this (earlier mould) as my first ever model with my Dad after a holiday in Anglesea (after hours sat watching the runway at RAF Valley). Been looking for an excuse to build a Sea King again.

Despite being SAR and looking really nice, The box artwork is for a Falklands based aircraft, and the idea I believe was for 999 calls…so will aim to find a UK based squadron that would have been involved in such calls. My knowledge is non existent, so It may be the dreaded yellow paint option.

Hi Gern

He is from the GRC or Royal Canadian Mounted Police in English.

Aaahhh! I originally thought he was a scoutmaster which is why I wondered what he had to do with the emergency services! My mistook. Looking forward to how you get on.

[Gern]

Looks like we got a goodly selection of builds already. Can hardly wait until the start!

You can build this one as shown if you like Jack - it is a rescue machine which is what I originally suggested. I only used 999 'cos I live in England. I'd have used 911 if I lived in the US.

The kit I picked has German markings so I'm not going to object to the RAF even if it is based in the Falklands!

And that is why i altered the title a little to emergency services so all bases are covered

Well after I managed to find some suitable decals from Telford today (for the princely sum of £2 :smiling5 I will be using something from the stash to build one of these:



Really looking forward to the GB starting now :smiling4:
