A superb diorama!

I love medical scenes especially of the WWI era. Both PBS's Upstairs Downstairs and more recently Downton Abbey have featured this subject

One of John Jenkins WWI British Ambulances will work very well with your figures

Many volunteer hospitals were set up in private estates in the UK during WWI

Hello Jack,

This is a superb hospital ward display with Tommy Atkins and Sarum. I like the way you covered the figure bases. Gloss figures have an unexplicable charm. I know my "glossies" keep me calm to carry on. :wink2:

Thanks, Raymond.

Quite right on lower prices than some more prominant manufacturers Jack.

If you don't already know, also have a look at Fusilier and Hussar - which also now belong to the Brothers Turner, who run Tommy Atkins - for further nice surprises. As an example - Fusilier has had a set that is causing quite a stir elsewhere, for quite some time. Take a look at WW215 (Quad, Limber and 25 pounder gun) - or WW216 - Australian 25 pounder and crew in Desert colour - all available as nicely priced painted Glossy Toy Soldiers - or around half that price for castings - to paint yourself - if you've continued practicing, of course.jb

Just had a look at Fusilier - How good is this?

My mate Richard collects Tommy Atkins, they go perfectly with his big Trophy Town & Country collection. Tommy Atkins have a big display of sets for sale at the London Shows, you would enjoy yourself if you ever got there {bravo}}

Cheers

I will be in London three times in the next two and a bit years but only in 2015 will it come close to coinciding with the London Show. I am planning on visiting Waterloo for the 200th Anniversary so it may work out then. I can hope though!
