RARE OOP Squadron/Rubin 170 54mm Private, Barrell's Regiment; Culloden, 1746
Rare OOP
This auction is for a single open 54mm miniature as shown. I purchased this sometime in the early 1970s, opened it (the bag was originally stapled, with card and miniature within), put it into a zipper-lock bag so I wouldn't lose any parts, and stored it, meaning to get back to it. Which I never did. My subject-matter tastes have changed so here it is. The model consists of five pieces including a torso with left arm, a right arm, a musket with attached hands, a sword and a base. The data card (no instructions - in
those
days you were supposed to assemble the model based solely on the artwork!) is essentially unworn despite having been stored in the same bag as the miniature for perhaps 45 years. The front (1st picture) shows the an artists impression (and painting guide) of the troop and the back (2nd picture) contains a potted history and a paint list. Like most of the old Rubin figures, he's a solid, workmanlike fellow who will take paint well, and which will look good when finished. He has lived his entire long life in a smoke-free environment. Paint him!
