pte1643 Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Chaps (and Chapesses). I slowly putting together a little WWI project and need some advise on stores to sling on the top of a Mk.IV. I'm looking at putting a bucket in the kit, and wondered what sort? Do we think... 1. Standard "Tin" (ish) colour metal bucket. 2. White "Enamelled" (with obligatory chips) Bucket. 3. Canvas Webbing Bucket (No laughing at the back, they do exsist). Cheers guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

penfold Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 Is it a battle scene, or behind the lines ??? I couldn't imagine a tin - or enamel - bucket lasting five minutes on the outside of a tank in No Man's land..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overhaulin Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 The one on this Whippet looks like a canvas type to me. (last Image in link) http://www.ramsdale.org/line.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pte1643 Posted December 18, 2010 Author Share Posted December 18, 2010 The one on this Whippet looks like a canvas type to me. (last Image in link) Yep, it sure does. Unless they've run over a tin one. I should say that all 3 options were possibilities, but the Canvas one was likely the most common. Cheers guys.

AnonymousFO98 Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 off topic slightly, I have read a recollection by the painter Georges Braque that he witnessed a French soldier put holes in a bucket to create a makeshift brazier. I assume that was a tin one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul RH Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 ????? Did they infact use steel buckets at the front?? http://www.blitzandpeaces.co.uk/Museum/WWI...ER%20BUCKET.jpg http://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/4/1/3/4/9/7...321973961_o.jpg What about sticking flimsies in/on the dio/tank? The one on the left is a German "jerrycan"...the others flimsies, for diesel/petrol they would be red. http://suncompass.fandom.tv/images/flimsyjerry.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
