Jeep Ambulance

 I came across this image as I was doing other research.  It's a painting from the Canadian War Museum's collection, painted by William Ogilvie at Dittaino, Sicily during Operation Husky.



Further research brought me images like this one, of a jeep ambulance later in the Italian campaign.


So of course I needed one!  I took a jeep from a previous project, and constructed a superstructure from styrene rods and a stretcher from brass rods and green stuff.  Some figures were easily converted into casualties.





A dab of paint, et voilà!  A jeep ambulance, with a couple of nurses from Perry Miniatures' "Lukewarm in Cairo" set:
