TW54A02 - Nurse Voluntary Aid Detachment

[Tommys War]

The final release for Tommy's War prior to Euro Militaire is a Nurse of the Voluntary Aid Detachment (VAD), one of the forgotten heroes (heroines) of the Great War

Sculptor: Benoit Cauchies
Box art: Michael Butler
Scale: 1/32 scale (54mm)
Material: resin
Price: £14.00 retail. Members of the Tommy's War Collectors Club receive a 10% discount
Available from: www.tommyswar.com

I'd like to welcome both Benoit and Mike on to the Tommy's War team, both are a delight to work with and I'm looking forward to working with each on future projects soon.

Please note that although scaled 1/32 this figure is a fair bit smaller in proportion to Nino's figures. At best she would be petite - if one of Nino's figures was 6' tall she would appear about 5' - but I will have copies on display at Euro Militaire for anyone to view and compare.

That's a lovely figure and nice to see a fine sculpt of a lady cad appropriately
(Not that I've anything against semi clad females in general, but as my good wife and daughter point out whenever one graces a magazine - " Why have her knickers fell down/top fallen off/****s popped out?" delete as appropriate)

 

[Rich Sculpts]

Excellent release! Nice to see more woman's auxiliary units being recognized - this figure reminds me of Vera Brittains book Testament of Youth.

More please, this would also make a great figure...

Excellent, at last a female subject in uniform! Would love to see this in 75mm!

Guys ,

Got to say I really like this ...yes I know it's not a bust ...one on my list

Wonder if she will have a companion perhaps Matron in the next time TW releases

Beautiful sculpt.....

Oh yeah, and paint too!!

 

[Uruk-Hai]

Very nice, her whole look captures the period and place very well. Are we to see a suffragett as well in the future?

Now that idea of a suffragette is good ...with a placard ...or how about a police officer , trying to arrest one ...helmet knocked to the ground ......

Stoked to have the opportunity to join the Tommy's team - thanks Darren.

I've been fortunate to have painted boxart on a few of Benoit's little ladies.
This one is no exception, delicate sculpt as can be seen from the master sculpt.

Only tip - be careful with the tiny pencil

Another small painting option is to add a printed Red Cross to her chest.

Has to be Our hero Edith..

Agree totally, will nickname her after this brave woman
