I mentioned the new Korean range to my children, and my adult daughter (who occasionally buys me 10mm kit) asked me if I would do a model of that old family favourite the 4077.
Tentage is available via Wargames vault, plans of the campsite are on line, and some figures are available.
I have a Marine in soft cap for Colonel Sherman Potter, civilian Si Fi woman for Hotlips, and even Hawkeye and Radar
Now - what casualty figure could best be adapted for wounded on a stretcher ?

WW4 Casualty on stretcher with medic (5) in the WWI Accessories would probably be a good start ;)

Still not enough to get you a section 8 corporal!
SV33 (Wounded with female first aiders) form WW2 Russian range might be useful as well; no pic on the site, but here's my figures:

ISn't there a stretcher in the new acw range?
Yes there is:

Thanks to all. The diorama is doable.
I might even invent a wee scenario around the 4077 to get it unto a table. Am tempted to add a railway siding. God ....I am turning into Carlos !
Hello Sunray
Haven't been able to find any 1/144 Sioux medevac helicopters for you. Did find some in /285 at Shapeways that could be scaled up

Or you could scratchbuild, as long as we can have a video of you building the tail frame in 1/150 , ;D ;D

Although not for the Korean War, but for my Hollywood US Weird WW2 army using the HotT rules I made this Stronghold in 6 MM. Went that scale because I am limited by the size of base I can use - and for me 60 x 80 MM works the best and stays within the limits allowed by the rules.

The Dodge ambulance was created from a WW2 model truck and a WWI model ambulance and a lot of fidgeting with tiny parts and decals!!

This is the scene I used as the model to create the Stronghold. It is the scene where Major Carter tells Captain America that they are the wounded from the 107th and he goes off to rescue the prisoners.
Just sharing it as one version, although it's WWII and the official MASH concept wasn't in use yet.

Could you make use of BR180 - Dismounted tank crews, drinking tea - in some capacity?
Of-duty orderlies, or - with a spot of alteration and an appropriate paint-job - perhaps Hawkeye and Trapper John enjoying a tin mug of moonshine! <:-P
(http://www.pendraken.co.uk/ProductImages/BR180.JPG)
Wrong headdress for Yanks. The beret did not feature with US troops until Special Forces (Green Beret) and I recall US tankers in NATO having a black beret in the 1970s.
Its a nice diorama ! :-bd
And thanks Vic. I sourced a 1/150 Bell on ebay from the old Micro Machines plastics (they were not all cars).
I've not done any 10 MM figure yet so not sure how difficult it might be - but could you do a head swap the British tank crew, or file the beret in hair having them hatless?
Terry
Tricky enough ! I just did one this afternoon. With Techno (Phil Lewis ) giving me live advice .(Thanks Phil, both subject and sculptor are doing well- the super glue came off) The trick is get the bluetack off before it bonds with the glue!
But to give you a "heads up", there will be a shed full of American type figures in 4O77 slack order in the new Korea range. The South Korean figures will have loads of Rear Echelon uses.
Rumour Control can confirm that first KPA advance guard will be on the forum .....very soon :o

Fair enough.
Although, in 10mm, with the berets clipped and painted scrubs, they might pass for surgeons out on a fag break :-$

I have BR180 and FRE50 (below) in a tray (along with some of the latest ECW civilians) on my work table.
(http://www.pendraken.co.uk/ProductImages/FRE50.JPG)
From these I going to attempt an ECW field hospital (which didn't actual exist as such).
The biggest issue is the lower part of the trousers - uh - so far.
When I started wargaming back in the early 1970s, there was no dedicated magazine - but Military Modelling dedicated a few pages to those who "played" with small models as opposed to painting them and sticking to a base board.
We were the poor relation. I have always admired the skills of model and diorama makers. Some years ago I was in holiday in Basel (Switzerland ) and my host showed me the state of the art N gauge layout in his roofspace. All I could think of was fighting the Bulge over his beautiful model.
Now it seems that there is a section of the market who buy figures, paint them to very high detail, but never throw a dice. Fair play to them. They are an inspiration and probably win painting prizes.
I still have pleasure in building a unit of scenery, but at the back of my mind it is always going to fit somewhere on a table- not a glass covered cabinet or shelf. Room for both to keep the hobby viable.

If we're talking Hawkeye & Trapper, maybe they were in a French mood that day...

I started of that way when i was about 9. My brother liked playing with trains and i liked painting the houses. When he got a pack of model railroad workers, i started adding my micro machine soldiers to that. Soon after that i bought my first box of models, napoleons old guard by revell, and russian infantry by esci, in the waterloo museum shop.I think i was 12 when i had every box of revell wwII infantry in my collection (except for british infantry, they hadn't released that yet). at first i just painted and played with them like a kid does, but then i started making a game of it.
Then i passed a wargame shop n my town, bought some gw minis and i started wargaming. You can say whatever you want about gw, but at the time they were the easiest way into this hobby of ours.(talking around march '97 here) I lost my brother about 3 weeks after that. So in a way i can still remember when i started quite well.
I was playing with Airfix H0&00 Desert Rats, DAK, US Marines, and Russies. I had a little spring gun that fired cork pellets.
Then my older cousin arrived one day with dice, a ruler and a book by Charles Grant. He a box with Airfix Germans and Russians - and Roco Minitanks T-34s and Panzer IVs. A green railway mat and "Bluebox farm" (made in Hong Kong).
We played "Action at Twin Farms" - I was beaten - but I was hooked. That day I stopped playing with soldiers and became a war gamer.
When my cousin gave up gaming I inherited the Blue Box farm (cottage and barn) it is still in my scenery box.

Glad it worked, Matey ! :)
Have to say, I much prefer 'Black-Tac' to Blue tak when I'm doing a temporary fix, while waiting for putty to set on a model.
Cheers - Phil

I still have my revell models in a box right here. Been thinking about painting them up for bolt action. Specifically the germans and americans in winter gear...
