    'Blighty'
    A term still familiar today that means Britain, in the sense of home. The word was derived from Hindustani and Persian words meaning foreign country and dated from the pre-war Army’s service in parts of the British Empire, particularly India. It was a widespread term during the First World War and was often used as an adjective to mean ideal or good. It was also famously used to describe a wound that was serious enough to send a soldier home without threatening his life.
    1:35th scale, figures scratch, all painted with acrylics.

    Hi Erik

    Great to see your artwork and a cracking diorama love the painting and a lovely version of a famous picture

    Really good scratchbuilding as well

    Always good to see your modelling

    Why not enter a piece into the class of your choice in the new FOTM

    There's also the Vignette & Diorama comp we are running

    Thanks for sharing

    Look forward to the next

    Happy benchtime

    Mooi werk weer Erik!
    Heb je nog wat foto’s van de ongeschilderde figuren.
    Ben daar wel benieuwd naar.

    Really like this for the content and layout. The wounded British Soldier looks very happy -- he is thinking -- "I'm out of here!" A nice clean bed awaits then hospital train and ship back to the U.K.
    Would probably buy if it ever became a kit.
