I plan to build a field hospital at a scale of 1:35, my problem is to find suitable figures to the staff, I would need two doctors / surgeons. I've searched all manufacturers I know of, but can not find anything that could work.
Someone who can help me?
Thinking of converting a chef, from a field kitchen, but would like some figures with a long white doctors' coats.

Dragon did a doctor/nurse set. (I think it came with the Kubel ambulance?)
ICM do a soviet medical team that could be converted.
Hope this helps.

Hi there.
I think he is there.
Combining that set (DML 6336) and another set, DML Medical Troops (DML 6074) which has a wounded soldier on a strecht in a very similar position that the one in the picture, I think you can manage to duplicate the scene.

Cheers,
Pablo

Have you seen this 2 figure set from Jaguar? "Come Closer" #JA63071
The doctor is wearing a long white coat/gown.

You might look on eBay or another online store or even in the back corner of a LHS...find the old Tamiya British Stretcher Party (35106) or the British Land Rover Ambulance (35082). Those litter bearers and doctor can be great starts for what you're looking for! With a little putty and some creative sculpting, you can make them any nationality/military you want!

I modified those figures to be WWII US Army medic (foot of litter), ambulance driver (left side) and doctor (right side, holding plasma bottle) at an Aid Station. (It's a work in progress)






The doctor's apron is masking tape. The stethoscope is wire. Plasma bottle is part of a clear styrene sprue with wire and masking tape details. All the rest of the conversions from British to US uniforms were made with putty. I did modify the pose of their arms--except for the medic.

Just an idea. Hope this helps!
