Tayside Police and Scottish Ambulance Service respond to collapse in Street opposite Bus Depot. 1/76 scale

Tayside Police Officers were passing down Belshotmuir Main Road when they were alerted to a medical incident ongoing. It’s been particularly warm in Belshotmuir, with hardly any clouds in the sky. Unfortunately the heat has taken its toll on Fainting Franny who has taken a turn on the pavement opposite the Strathtay Bus Garage! Having heard the Officers on the radio requesting attendance by the Scottish Ambulance Service, their Sergeant has also come along to see what all the commotion is about.

 

Meanwhile, as Nosey Norah stands by watching the Ambulance Crew, the other bystanders are politely pretending nothing is happening as they wait for their bus to arrive. Unfortunately the Wright Gemini of Travel Dundee on service 28 for Douglas, is being held up. With the Emergency Vehicles blocking its lane, it is also prevented from overtaking by an oncoming Strathtay Volvo Wright Renown on service 73 for Dundee City Centre which is setting down for boarding passengers.

 

 

Yesterday I decided to code 3 a spare Ford Transit I had, to use up some transfers. Once it was in Tayside Police livery, I then felt it could be accompanied by an actual officer. I set about trying to paint one of my spare figures into Police uniform and when I was happy with the results, decided to do a couple more. That then developed into painting an Ambulance crew and a couple of Firefighters.

 

When I realised they weren’t going to remain upright of their own accord, I then cut some squares out of the packaging the figures came in and used these as a base.
