Army is Not All About Guns - Medical Team from Miniature Stories

The story of Desmond Doss inspires us to be better people - watch Hacksaw Ridge and you will understand why.

But I digress - just a little. The good people at Miniature Story remembers the medical staff - the army is not just about guns and ammunition but also about the people who save lives - the doctors and the medics.

Lest you think the combat medic is a "switched off" vocation, I tell you it is not.

Carrying the stretcher and medical supplies is no joke.

Add to that an injured soldier, you have to be truly combat fit to be a combat medic.

Again, the details of the figurines are top notch. The stretcher details are great.

And so is the insignia patch on the sleeve.

The next medic is less known to the more "lao jiao" servicemen - the Medical Response Force Medic.

Clad in his Mission Oriented Protective Posture (MOPP) suit, he is as critical in today's army as the soldiers in the fighting suits.

The medic is in a pose about to put on his protective mask.

The mask protects the medic by filtering harmful chemical and biological agents.

Strapped on the left leg is the mask carrier that will contain additional filters too.

The detail on the mask is fantastic.


I am happy that Caleb and Terra did take notice of the medics in their collection. You may buy these figurines and the entire collection directly from the Miniature Stories website. For those with their NS50 vouchers, you may use them too. I had an earlier article showing the details of the figurines. I hope you like them.
