German Field kitchen on Opel truck

RECRUIT
Ok, lets start another one. I'm going to put a german field kitchen on the back of an Opel truck. Both model are from Tamiya and will be built OOB. Well, kind of.
So here are the two protagonists.

The Field Kitchen

First thing is to build the kitchen body to take the meassures for the stand.

I'm going to build it with some Evergreen structural shapes.

Here's the begining of the stand.

Once that is done is a matter of cutting some legs and reinforcements. A chopper is very handy for this.

And here is the complete kitchen in its stand. In the back you can see the carriage for the kitchen. I built it to measure how high the the stand should be.

Still need to put some bolts on the frame and build the accesories that come with the kitchen. Stay tuned.
