Superb Scottie, you can almost smell the very thin soup!!

Bob, sorry mate it must be my cheap aftershave.

Evening Paul,

I guess I should be slapped about the head and shoulders for not commenting sooner. I really thought I had commented. it must be the Alzheimers or the heat Buddy. Top drawer work as usual and if i know you, it's just the beginning of another Meisterwerk in the making. I will try to keep up now...……...

Prost
Allen

PS, These guys have no clue what you could make in the Kessel…..

Allen no worries at all my friend there are so many fine builds going on it is very hard to keep up with them all. But glad your here now. I don't suppose the guys who were fed from these worried about what they were getting as long as they were fed.

WOW... i cannot say more ... the details on the field stove are superb.... wonderful..

Greg, Thanks fella if I can keep up with you I will be happy.

Started the limber today changed a few things as they lacked detail or were to thick. Does anyone know if these were of all steel construction or did they use wood as well?







The back rest to me looks like its on the wrong side of the uprights but this is what the instructions called for so I guess its right.

cheers
Scottie

Your detailing is astounding, far beyond my rough and tumble approach to modeling.

Not sure about the use of wood and steel but JR has first hand knowledge. He was in the Russian version of the Home Guard during WWII. Apparently there was a damaged one left outside his shack on the outskirts of Leningrad. His wife and children used to fire it up on a Friday to bake their potatoes.

Apart from that its a fantastic build. Luvin it a lot. Can't wait to see how you get on with the horses LOL

More great detailing Scottie. Had a look at the reference and the back rest on the limber is the right way round - attachments to the front as the kit has it.

Steve stop giving the family history away :smiling:
Paul some limbers were made of pressed steel , in that photo I would imagine that front section was made that way. , hence the strengthening sections.
Timber would have played a part though, would think the floor would have been timber, remember all this came from the making of wooden carts.
found this.

Steve, I had heard the same story but I heard he tried to bake them but burnt them to a crisp.

Peter, It was the same on mine just didn't look right, but thanks for checking and the kind words.

Cheers John, I will go for pressed steel as there is no hint of wood grain anywhere, but that said there is no woodgrain on the wheels either lol.
By the way your family secrets will go no further.

Oh dear that's you off MrT's Christmas Magic Potion List then.
"Eye of newt, and toe of frog,
Wool of bat, and tongue of dog,
Adder's fork, and blind-worm's sting,
Lizard's leg, and howlet's wing,--
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble." ,
Banished to the badlands, where plastic fails to stick, and rivets refuse to stay. :smiling2:
