Admittedly this is another spur of the moment project conjured some weeks ago which I finally found time to paint. The figure is from Tamiya's Wehrmacht Tank Crew Set (35354). I swapped the right arm with the figure holding the binoculars from the same kit and replaced a new hand holding a spoon from Royal Models. The field stove is taken from Royal Models, German SS Soldier Eating - WWII (876). I upgraded the collar insignia and shoulder tabs with Rado Miniatures Wehrmacht Soldier's Insignia (RDM35PE03). This project is turning out to be quite enjoyable due to it's simplicity and I do encourage some of you folks out there to give something like this a go.

A glimpse of the figure at the initial phase of the project. I decided halfway through the painting to swap the head for another with a more stoic expression - perhaps a person who takes his cooking seriously....

Cheers,

Calvin
