hi all , when I bought the Miniart Soviet Soldiers at rest kit . I decided to make a scratchbuilt pot. I used 6mm dia of plastic card and covered both sides in alluminium foil the Ii added a strip round the egde to form the pot, I finished it off with a fuse wire handle . I craved a new wooden spoon from a cocktail stick . The three legged griggle I made from scrap brass and the legs from fuse wire . The griggle was alluminium net . I intend to make a mess tin and lid next so watch this space cheers ian

Hi all , I decided to make a replacement bucket , I found an ICM one as the master . I cut a rough arc from paper and pressed it round the top lip of the master , by mark one eyeball I redefined it till it fitted perfectly . I repeated this on the lower edge . Then I transfered the paper cut out onto 5 thou plastic card . This was then stiff enougth to use for cutting the alluminium foil to shape . By folding the foil over the master I again adjusted the shape till I was satisfied . I punched a disc of 6 mm by 20 thou plastic card and covered it in foil both sides . All that was left was to glue the foil to the base and tease it into shape using the master as a guide. A fuse wire handle finished it off . see scan for the components and finished bucket . This can be replicaated in any scale cheers ian
