Did this diorama on a 36" x 30" board. I have placed a complete set of photos in a new added album with same title. Enjoy

Thank you, I will be adding a Ford Model T Ambulance to the scene when it arrives in two days. I will place the earlier period ambulance (the model T) in the garage with the ambulance by White Vans which is being serviced. I was inspired to create this scene from an illustrated article in the The Ladies Home Journal dated August 1918 and titled "When Our Boys are Injured - How They are Cared For by the Army Medical Service and the Red Cross".

A lot of great details to look at. Like the ambulance you already have. Very nicely staged. Thanks for posting the pics. Chris

Gentlemen,

Since my last posting, I've added a Ford Model T Ambulance (classified in the field in WWI as a "Light Ambulance"), which had very limited capacity but were abundant. I've placed a seated Stretcher Bear / Driver taking a pipe break on the ambulance's running board while the vehicle is loaded. The White Van Ambulance beside the Ford was classified as the "Large Ambulance", introduced later in the war. Hidden in the Aid Transfer Station's garage is a black (not yet painted green) Ford Model T Wrecker (tow truck). I will be adding Red Cross symbols (decals) on the roofs of the ambulances (otherwise they will be exposed to aircraft attack by the Huns). Again, thank you for the complements.
