Small Scale Ambulance Scene

[Kurt G]

Once again these are Perry miniatures . To give you an idea of the scale , the ambulance wheel is the size of a quarter. There is another thread discussing ambulance color , but I went with green . I used 4 X 6 picture frames for the base and background . The stone fence and rocks were made out of cat litter .Painted in acrylics . I have one more Perry project to do , but that will be much larger and will take some time .

Very cool like the ambulance stewards stuff. That was my impression for reenacting.

I don't think you can see in the image but 3 of them have the green armbands.

Which makes the detailed work for the scale of the piece all the more amazing. Hats off!

Brilliant work, great painting and the layout and balance are spot on.
Perfect choice of background photo, looks like if you went any closer you'd be able to walk across the field.

Looks great. What scale is it??

That´s a nice layout! Beautiful painting and nice groupings of the characters. I can almost hear the conversations.

They are 28mm or about 1 1/8" tall. I saw one vendor that said the were 1/56th scale. The plastic ones have finer detail , but the range isn't very large.

 

[Pete Longstreet]

Very nice. I didn't notice the armbands at first until you mentioned it. But they add a lot once you begin to study the smaller details. Again, great job. Love your work.

Like all of your work, it so well done. It's amazing how much a backdrop adds to the diorama.

When you paint in this smaller scale (28mm), verses the larger scale, do you change your technique in anyway from that of painting larger figures?

Yes , you make the highlights and shadows more drastic . Unfortunately some gets washed out in the photo and then you see errors in the photo that you don't see with the naked eye . It's also hard to get the image well focused when it's so small.
