The official museum of the Gurkha Regiment is only a fifteen minute walk from my front door but I haven't visited it for years, the last time being when I went there for a work experience visit when a Nepali student at school had a placement. I don't know why I haven't been back since but I'm going to rectify that oversight by a trip at the weekend, with a focus on the exhibits relating to the Indonesian Confrontation, which are a highlight of the displays. These include this reconstruction of a jungle 'basha', which is a great inspiration for some modelling. I'll report back after the trip!

I remember it as quite a good museum. Gift shop had some nice Nepali items IIRC
ReplyDeleteIt's a good museum and one of half a dozen in the city
ReplyDeleteI can see you making a lovely piece of terrain based on that picture.
