June 30, 201313 yr Well here is a few photos of what I have built. 1st is a folding table and 2 K Ration boxes. This is for the other hobby of re-enacting. I have also built a ww2 era footlocker. I have this painted but no photos of the completed project yet.
June 30, 201313 yr Nice build. Very authentic looking! Have eaten a few of those (and C rations too). Have an original Army folding table but probably not WWII era.

June 30, 201313 yr Chris, this is totally awesome! WWII re-enacting, I haven't heard much about those groups, Civil War era all day long, but not many WWII groups out there, this is wonderful, and great work too man! John MorrisThe Patriot Woodworker

July 2, 201313 yr Author All I did to the ration boxes is stencil them with the back paint, that's it. Just like the original ones from the 1940's  Plus they are nailed together, super simple.
