Howdy friends!
It’s been some time, and after starting a couple of M4’s, and not really getting around to finishing them, inspiration finally struck
I’ll be doing a diorama, which will hopefully be one part of a three part project.
going to get started this weekend! Looking forward to tackling that old WC-54.
If anyone has good links to med detachment/aid station/clearing station photos, I’d gladly and thankfully take them.
cheers!!

You might find some useful information here: https://www.med-dept.com/
Also, I spent my career working in Battalion Aid Stations and was evac sgt. in several, the gear might have changed, but the concepts remained pretty much the same, feel free to pick my brain.
I’m looking forward to see this cool topic progress.
Thanks for the link. I’m embarking on a Korean war dio centered on an ambulance jeep so I’ve been digging into the webs.
Thanks for that link! A lot of great info and photos there.
I appreciate the offer to pick your brain. I’m sure I’ll have questions along the way. Thank you very much!

I did some slap and dash scratchbuilding. The cab will have the doors closed and a driver, so I didn’t go for spot on accuracy…just something a little better than empty space. I’m going to dry fit the cab and dashboard around it and see how visible it is.
comments/critiques/ideas always welcome.
Cheers!

I picked up the Eduard photo etch set for the WC-54. Got to get a little work in last evening.
I’m using a WC-63 in this scene as well, and, since the front cab will be closed up, some of the interior PE from the ambulance (like the accelerator, clutch, and brake pedals) will make their way into that.
Hope the universe is treating ya all well!
Cheers!
dry fitted, and will I paint and weather the interior prior to finishing and painting the exterior.
