Hello all,

i am doing a MAS*H set based of the swamp REVELL #4335 model.

I have not been able to find a web site with interior shots of the camp nor descent reference photos the scratch build that era’s tents. I have found some close up’s of props like the still and similar items… dose any one have a reference to help me scratch build te set ?

thank you all for your time and efforts…

Isnt the series out on DVD/Video? Try renting and watching some episodes to get a feel for what you need. Or they show the old episodes on TV.

The entire series is on DVD at walmart, it was up on the front racks at the front of the store where the new releases go.

I just got a MASH helicopter and would like to eventually make a diorama myself. My sister-in-law has all the MASH seasons and I’m going to borrow them to get ideas. Does anybody make accurate MASH figures like Hawkeye and Radar without buying the old Revell Swamp scene?

good morning ,

thank you, stikpusher , patlaborunit1,wasteland.

For the susgetions on DVD and the rentals… money is an issue now. so I’ll need to wait …[:slight_smile:] was surpried that thier was not alot of info on line. regarding mash sets…?

sprueone; thanks for the comments… The model, I believe is based on the tv show. Like in it’s run… Many sets on locations & instudio… I want to make the " swamp" with the same shooting angel inside the set with back ground action… I am starting to set up the figures as true state of “lending aid and support to the wounded…” My first four test figures are already showing grate results . As the tent set gets of the ground… I hope to have the main impresion of starting inside the swamp… Seeing wounded arive from the aid stations triage.

hello Vassar 13,

I do not know at this time is accurate models are produced for hawkeye or otrhers? As for the revell figures i maybe able to get copy’s made… for trade.

The helicopter’s wounded , riding out side jumpers… do you had any resources to make copies of them? ( wounded/ transport strechers?

Are you setting the helicopter up on the hill? or over head coming in?

thanks nfpa1002

The Revell MASH kits were from the TV series not the movie. The Hawkeye figure was based off of Alan Alda and the Deuce and a Half kit had a Cpl. Klinger figure with it (someone not in the movie). I had the Swamp scene with the old Monogram Jeep kit, Radar driver figure, Hawkeye figure and I think this set came with Hot Lips.

I also had the MASH Deuce and a half (another old Monogram kit) that came with Klinger in a nurse’s uniform and Col. Potter. It also included a wounded soldier with another doctor that was either Trapper John or BJ (I forget which character off hand).

I remember getting them on clearance from the Ft. Hood PX in the early 90s for around $2 and change. There was also a MASH helicopter that I did not buy for some reason.

I don’t have any particular plans right now. The helicopter does have the stretchers and it comes with a pilot. I don’t have anything to make copies of them. I’m hoping to find an ambulance and another jeep, but right now I already have a couple of projects going.

No, my name comes from the town I live in and my baseball number.

Where did you get an ambulance? I’ve been looking all over for one. I think the interior should be white. On the Jeep the seats would be more of a khaki color.
