Product details & history

As any serving or veteran soldier will tell you a good hot meal will warm you up as well as cheer you up in the most difficult of circumstances.
The 'Battle of The Bulge' was a prime example... Here a waiting-in-line GI leans forward to get a helping of hot beef stew and vegetables. The kneeling 'Chef' makes sure everyone gets a fair share of this hot chow before they once more return to their foxholes and dugouts in the frozen fields and forests of the Belgian Ardennes in December 1944.
Note also the big metal pot and the neat little field cooker. And if it may not be the finest 'cordon-bleu' cooking in the world... it sure as hell beats a handful of snow and a cold can of 'C' rations!

Materials & Construction

Hand-painted mixed-media collectible. Figures are primarily cast metal, while vehicles, scenic pieces, and accessories may combine polystone, resin, metal, and plastic components. The exact material mix varies by model.

Collector Care

Display indoors away from direct sunlight, excessive heat, and moisture. Handle the piece by its base—not by weapons or small accessories—and remove dust gently with a soft, dry brush. Do not use water or household cleaners.

Scale & Dimensions

Designed to complement King & Country's approximately 1:30 scale range. Figure height, vehicle footprint, and accessory dimensions vary by set; check the product description for model-specific details.

History & inspiration

A hot meal in the Ardennes

A cook, a waiting GI and a pot of food make this a scene about keeping an army going. The winter setting recalls the Battle of the Bulge, when cold and exposure added to the strain of the fighting. A serving of hot food could mean a great deal more than a break in the routine.

The field cooker is the small detail that changes the whole subject. This is organized feeding away from a permanent kitchen, with men still close enough to the fighting to keep their equipment about them. The miniature records the support and improvisation that combat photographs can easily leave out.
