So very pleased to have you back amongst us Jase, I have really missed your builds and thought you were gone for good, but can I just say a very big and warm welcome back mate, you've just made my day!!  
Love the look of this kit, it certainly looks a good 'un and I'm sure you'll make a cracking job of the build as always - I wish you well in the competition with it!? I know Robin (Plymouth57) was thinking of doing an 'Ice Cold in Alex' dio a few months back albeit with the Airfix 1:72 (or is it 1:76?) kit but in 1:35 this will be a stunner and I'm looking forward to it!!
Great film too, one I've watched many times and will watch many times more, it's just so very enjoyable - who wouldn't want to look at a very young and very sexy (and ahem ... very sweaty) Sylvia Syms over and over again?  
Welcome back Jase!!

Be interested to see how you get on with this one. Lots of superglue so keepnthem fingers well,out of the way I will be using Devcon 2 epoxy for the resin as this forms a much better bond J “Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.”

Jase Hello Jase,
Found some 1:35 WWII German nurses which could be modified to look British here? .... :
http://www.ebay.com/sch/...+WWII+Nurse&_sop=15
.... but it seems there are none currently available in the UK, only abroad, or at least on Ebay that is? It may be worth doing an internet search of UK retailers, using the manufacturers' kit details/numbers from those available on Ebay? It may be that there are one or two lurking in the dark reaches of UK model shops and at least you now know that there are 1:35 nurse figures out there - just gotta find them?!!
Hope that helps mate?

Hi Jase I couldn't find anything much on the web either, Tony was right, the two nurses were wearing khaki overalls so your best bet might be one of the new RAF groundcrew sets with some added milliput or if you want the real feminine look, Preiser do a set of 1/32 (or 1/36?) multipose nude females which would give you the correct body shapes and faces - but then you'd have to sculpt the overalls!  Best of luck!

Thank you so much for all the links, some great finds. I have watched the film today and not only are the nurses not in nurse uniform they are in trousers. so I have found a spot in the move that I want to inspire my diorama, which is the point when they get to the full dump and there is a British solder dressed up as a bedouin. by this point one of the nurses is dead. so i am now trying to find one nurse and a an arab (sounds like the start of a joke ) probably an ATS or Land girl would do it. thanks again for all the help Jase “Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.”

Hello Jase,
Not sure what sort of pose you want for the Arab but 'Fields of Glory' do a half decent 1:35 Arab guy?:

Not cheap, though you might find it cheaper if you look around?! Hope that helps?
