WWII Finnish Field Kitchen (horse drawn) 1/56 scale
- Description
- Files
This model represents the horse drawn field kitchen used by the Finns in the Winter and Continuation War of WWII. The model is generously sized and can be down scaled to fit your 28mm 1/56 models better.
Inspired by the purchase of Baker Company Kickstart metal Finns I wanted a scenic marker or objective that was different and so designed the horse drawn field kitchen based on images available on the web.
Initially I intended this model to be printed in plastic and so organise the parts so that the upper and lower parts of the kitchen can be printed flat to the bed and then glued together. The model is highly detailed and needs printing at 0.1mm layer height.
This model has sold repeatedly on Ebay as a finished printed kit and tends to print reliably, though do print spares of the smaller parts as they do fail at times.
Recently I decided to make the model printable in resin using Water Soluble Resin. This required some variation of the model. The main parts of the kitchen are printed flat to the bed with no supports. This works for me as the resin is washed in hot water and this allows you to lift the two main parts off the print bed. Printing in this manner seems to leave a little edge around the bottom near the build plate that needs to be trimmed carefully before light curing the parts.
The model is oversized for the 1/56 scale. The files can be reduced in scale, I suggest you scale the main wheel to the size you want and then use that % to rescale the other parts.
I do NOT recommend rescaling this model down to 1/72 or 1/100 scale. I will seek to release files at this scale which are more robust and slightly simplified to be more reliable at those smaller scales.
This listing will provide the following files both for Plastic and then Resin printing.
