Building the model:

It is worth assembling and painting the field kitchen and figures separately, then bringing them together into a coherent scene. The figures' faces and hands are painted separately, with the kitchen and gear detail emphasised by a wash and dry-brushing.

Tools you'll need:

• Modelling nippers for removing parts from the sprues
• Hobby knife or scalpel
• Files and sandpaper for cleaning up sprue-gate marks
• Modelling putty to hide the parting lines between parts
• Plastic cement (e.g. Tamiya Extra Thin Cement)
• Fine brushes and modelling paints (acrylic or enamel) for faces, uniforms and gear
• Panel-line wash to emphasise folds and detail, plus dry-brushing

About the set – a German field kitchen:

Field kitchens, colloquially called 'goulash cannons', were an inseparable part of every army's rear area in the Second World War – providing soldiers with hot meals even in difficult field conditions. The set reproduces such a scene and works well as a rear-area diorama element.
