Do you expect to see a flood of the old rorke drift hospitals on ebay before the new version ships? Also is it just me or does it looks like the colouring is slighly different for the new add on section versus the old hospital roof.. just saying....

 

[RISORGIMENTO]

from the picture you took at Fort York the colour seems different, probably Britain has taken the new burned hospital as a basis.

Good catch ! - We've color matched all the roofs between the new, old and add-on so they are as spot on as we can get them -they were not well matched in the catalog but will be a heck of a lot closer in production.

I patterned the hospital (Otto Witt home) addition to follow the end of the building as depicted in the famous Alphonse de Neuville painting.
This great new grouping of figures evacuating the building were sculpted by Alan Ball, and were also inspired by the events shown in this spirited painting.
Here are a couple of images Richard Walker and I photographed shortly after the building addition and the figures were finished and painted.
You can see the joint where the new section is butted to the hospital. This should fit the old version and the new version of the building the same, allowing folks that already have the hospital to use this new section too.

I hope this answers any questions about how the new addition is to be used.
Enjoy!
Ken

Thanks for letting us know the building addition will fit with the original hospital. Count me in on all of these fine figures and building addition.

Very nice any chance some of these splendid ACW figures will be sold as singles?

Yes, at some point a couple of the standing firing might be recycled but with different heads and arms. But the uniqueness of the set will be preserved.

Thanks for your response, I was more curious about the Flagbearers and officer!
But do understand you wanting to keep the uniqueness of the set so thats cool ^&cool.
