Display ideas and companion pieces
Give the ramrod room above the figure and keep it away from shelves, low arches and overhanging scenery. Alongside RTA129 and RTA130, the different hand positions help explain why musket combat involved more than repeated firing poses. The models offer an illustrative sequence rather than evidence of a particular man's actions.
What to check before buying
Inspect the long ramrod, musket and hands carefully. Ask whether the rod is straight and whether any join has been repaired, without assuming such problems are common to the release. Check the product code when buying a complete loading group.
