Does one of these exist in 35? Willing to pay $5, plus shipping from anywhere in the world.

Hello Matt,

Does it have to be that exact style? The old Tamiya horse pulled Kitchen has some not sure of style long time I looked at it. Not sure if the newer rerelease has them. You should look at Plus Models I don't know if they do but they specializa in that type of stuff. Also look at Verlinden. I believe Model Victoria has Foods too. That's my two cents hope one of them helps you.

I will be building from a photo and that is the style of milk can pictured. Thank you for the references.

This looks pretty close,though you'd have to add a handle.And you can probably order it from Tamiya

I have decided to pick up the Royal Model can, as it is a bit cheaper than purchasing and entire kit. I will still have to build the handle, but that can be done with some heavy foil.

What's the diameter of the base? My first thought was to use a cut down 5.56 casing. Add a lid and a handle. Cost: Virtually nil, Coolness factor: +10
Better yet, look up the 22 Dasher casing. Better angle, more crisp definition line at the shoulder.

Excellent idea! My dad has a ton of spent casings.

Hey Matt, if you are interested I have one or two white metal milk cans with lids you can have. Might have to cut them down a bit and add handle and chain. If you want them, just P.M. me. bob d

I think I have a milk can in one of my HMMWV equipment sets at home. The Army has me on the road for a couple of days but I can check when I get back on Friday if you want me to.

WOW! I appreciate the response. I have contacted Bob Davis(a great seller/buyer btw). I should be able to post results immediately, upon receiving the parts. Thank you for all of the help.
