discussion Jim R's German Field Kitchen

[Tim Marlow]

It’s looking good, by the way. Love the stew….

As to the horses, won’t you have to scratchbuild the tack that goes with them?

This is looking good - not sure about the stew, but I would guess any hot food was welcome, even if the sausages might be suspect.

Just caught up, really liking the work going into this build.

Could well be the pin was a guide to stop the axle being forced sideways. Ie it could move up and down freely and wasn’t fixed. Railway wagons used similar technology, axle boxes sliding in a groove.

Sounds logical Tim. Although the pin was only short and the instructions don't have a "do not glue" symbol although that does appear elsewhere.

As to the horses, won’t you have to scratchbuild the tack that goes with them

No. I will have the horses unhitched and grazing quietly nearby.

I think I will leave my error. Correcting it may well carry too much risk of damage. It is mostly hidden behind the wheel anyway. The wheels will end up about 1.5 mm too high against the kitchen body looking at the pictures in the instructions. This will not be noticeable - hopefully!

So I shall carry on and endeavour to not make any more c***-*ps.

Late to the party as always Jim. Nice additions and detailing. Looking forward to seeing where this project goes. Happy modelling my friend
