Heeresfeldwagen 13

[The_Dutchman]

I realise there are many people who do not like to use FB, so to those people: here are a few pictures of my current project: a german Heeresfeldwagen 13, better known as the 'Gulashkanone'. The idea is to make it as complete as possible, with all the gear that would be part of the kitchen equipment, like the internal coffee grinder and the storage containes for kaffee, tee, salz, pfeffer and gewürz.

This field kitchen will be an interbellum or early war type which had only two fireplaces: on the left side to heat a 90 liter 'kaffee kettel' and in the center to heat the main 200 liter cauldron. The cauldron ('speise kettel') is actually heated indirectly because it is surrounded by a large copper kettle which contained glycerine.

Most of the dimensions for the HF.13 were taken from a 1:1 -late war- HF.13 at the Dutch military museum on Overloon. The grey parts are 3d printed by me

Enjoy the pictures!

Fantastic work. Love the details.

Outstanding build! These posts help so much on how to make parts to create a complete build. Thank you for posting for us non-social media types. Love the details that can be done with 3D printers.

Wow...grand stuff Randall, very keen to see how this one comes along. Cheers for sharing, Steve

Sorry for not posting more build pictures, but it simply takes too much scarce time away building as I need to resize every picture before uploading them. Hopefully the new site will make it easier to upload pictures without the need to resize them.

Here are some pictures of the completed field kitchen from our last ActionFigurado event in march.

That is indeed a great result and, as a big fan of the field kitchen and the minutia that is required, love it. You've inspired me to add some mods to mine (well, when I get the time to get around to it of course). I've still yet to create the harnesses for mine and now thinking I'll do so for my 2024 series on D-Day where I plan to have a scene covering the state of the German Army in France in June 1944 (titled 'Horse and horsepower' - such is the plan anyway). Thanks again for sharing, Steve
