Title: Looking for figures inspired by John Singer Sargents "Gassed" painting
Post by: Old Goat on June 01, 2010, 10:15:50 AM

Long time lurker, finally joined.

Thought I'd start with a question...

I've seen, somewhere, as part of a display I'm sure four figures with their eyes bound and with a hand on the shoulder of the man in front, can I find this again can I hell...

Any help would be massively appreciated.

Many thanks, Old Goat.

Splendid.

Many thanks Phil, now for my next question.

Where can I buy such a thing?

Any ideas?

They were never released, they were just done as part of the WW1 Diorama.

What about stretcher bearers?  My casualty clearing station will be a struggle...

Thanks for the reply though...
