A pair of ordinary camp objects in 1:35 scale: a bucket and a sheet-metal fire pan. Together they create the picture of a place where fires were kept, food was cooked and kit was washed free of mud.
Responsibility details are not available.
The package is aimed at the small items that tend to be overlooked in finished kits, and yet every period photograph tells of them. The sheet-metal vessel in which a fire was kept served for warming, for burning rubbish and for thawing tools; a bucket belonged with it as a matter of course. The 1:35 scale matches the usual figures and machinery.
Figures need a pretext for standing or sitting exactly where you put them. A source of heat is the strongest such pretext of all: people cluster around it, hold out their hands and put things down. A bucket then offers a second level of story, because it suggests that something was being carried, cleaned or put out.
A vessel exposed to heat loses its finish entirely. Color transitions arise on its walls from straw yellow through violet to blue-gray, a dark baked-on crust stays in the lower part and the sheet anneals to a brittle gray near the bottom. A bucket, by contrast, ages more slowly: the finish is rubbed off the handle and the rim, the bottom rusts through from standing in the damp and a line from the water level stays settled inside.
Build the transitions on the sheet with transparent coats, not with opaque paint. Make the ash near the bottom with a light pigment rubbed into the remains of soot, and leave the bucket considerably less ruined than the fire pan. The difference in the degree of damage between the two objects is what gives the pair its credibility.
