I'm pleased to bring to you the first of five new products released today.

Gassed is a six figure set, with diorama base, that remembers all those that suffered the effects of gas in World War One.A truly horrific weapon used by all sides, gas not only affected those in the trenches physically but mentally as well.

This magnificent set of figures, sculpted by Nino Pizzichemi and cast in detailed grey resin is inspired by the American painter John Singer Sargent who originally painted the image in 1919 (the painting is still owned by the Imperial War Museum).

The set comes complete with a 180mm x 60mm diorama base, sculpted by Andrew Belsey, that comes complete with six duckboards that slot together to form an evocative scene (please note that the diorama base included with the set differs from the one shown on the box art). The set comes in a great quality gift box and also includes a small leaflet with the background to Gassed and a postcard commemorating all those victims of gas.

Gassed was sculpted in conjunction with the Blind Veterans Association, a UK charity that work with current and former service people with vision problems, and to celebrate the centenary of this charity a built and painted copy of Gassed was presented to Her Royal Highness Sophie of Wessex in June 2015. A donation of £5.00 from every sale of this set will be given to the BVA by Tommy's War Limited to help support this great cause.

That's an awesome vignette!!!
I think this is the first time that it comes as a kit from any company.
Many years(?) ago I remember I saw a scratch built depiction ( in Euromilitaire) of the famous painting as a diorama called "in the kingdoms of blinds"......
Keep up the good work and give us more wwi figures.....

Lovely work!(y)

I really like this set, but it has one obvious flaw! Who? or where is the 'Guide'. ??? I feel that this is a very important finish and /or, visual. to this 'Powerful Scene'.(y)

This excellent piece pulls every emotional string for me.....found it difficult to view without a bit of a blub, I don't mind admitting. Two of my great-uncles were gassed in 1917, survived that, but died in 1918 from inflenza; no doubt weakened by the effects of being gassed.
I'm sure this will do very well,certainly deserves to.
