Cavalry photo shoot

[The_Dutchman]

Hello gents,

I know some of you don't like to venture onto facebook so here are a bunch of pictures for you. This photo shoot was taken in 3 stages and took a about 6 hours to complete. It shows an early war cavalry column with two HF.1 wagons and a HF.13 fieldkitchen plus limber. Enjoy the pictures!
This first set of pictures shows the head of the column with the commanding officer talking to a Feldgendarmerie.

Stage 2 showing the column progressing with the fieldkitchen at the very end of the column.

Stage 3: The column has stopped to get some chow from the fieldkitchen.

All these pictures were taken inside on a dedicated 'set' that was made available by two follow collectors Guus en Theo.
Here are a few pictures of the set.

WOW Dutchman, that is simply grand work on all accounts. I'll definitely be taking a page or two out of your work when I, finally, get to putting my field kitchen together for next year's 'D-Day' theme. Superb, now to clean the drool off my keyboard. Thanks for sharing, Steve

Also, out of interest, where did you get the instructional plates for the Feldkuche?. I've been trying to source accurate ones of these for years and, to-date, yours are the best I've seen (having to make do with photocopied and sized imagery from Schiffer's great book on the subject). Inquisitively, Steve

And finally, great studio.

Thanks for the compliments Steve. I got the instruction-plates from a Facebook group of people that own/restore german fieldkitchens. One of them had new metal instruction-plates created and he kindly sent me the graphics-file so I could print my own.
You'll need a magnifying glass to read the instructions!

Very nice photos, taken at a good angle. I appreciate all the detailing done to the pieces. B&W and a little grainy would appear very convincing.
