Prudence "Tuppence" Beresford (right) a new member the British Voluntary Aid Detachment recently arrived on the Western Front gets some tips from Catherine Barkley (left) a seasoned member of the V.A. D. Both are serving as ambulance drivers and their 1918 Ford Model T Ambulance is seen behind them.

John's superb WWI ambulance arrived today and I couldn't wait to get it before my camera. It is a real beauty with incredible detail throughout. There are even individual valve stems on each tire and a hand crank to start the engine. This has to be the best WWI ambulance on the market. While waiting for John to release his own medical figures, I thought I would try it out with 2 of my W. Britain WWI nurses.

Very nice photo and setup of John's handiwork. Actually the W.B. figures go pretty well for this perspective. I have been pondering getting the ambulance, now this might just do the trick.

Thank you all.

John is planning on doing an American version with American crew. I would guess whenever he begins to issue American aircraft. Something definitly to look forward to.

Very nice Randy. The size of those figure matches up nicely with the ambulance. I think the ambulance is a bit small for John's figure.

Thanks Catul, Robin and Doug.

How does the ambulance scale compare with one of John's airplanes or pilot figures?

I did try it with one of my 1/30th Beau Geste figures
