Hi Randy

Glad you liked the cots :salute::

The original cots appeared in two Trophy sets "Strategy in the desert" from the Egypt and The Sudan series and "Battle Strategy" from the Anglo Zulu War series.

Here is the Egypt and The Sudan version.





I thought they would make pretty good First Aid cots for wounded soldiers so I decided to have a go at making a few from balsa wood and some pieces of spare cloth



Cheers

Great job on the cots, Martyn.

The superb attention to details on the BTSC stern wheeler is nicely highlighted in your close-up pics mate ..... and so is Mike's great craftsmanship on his BW NB figures. :wink2: ^&grin
