Valiant Miniature Kit# 9800 - 93rd Sutherland Highlanders New Orleans, 1815. This regiment was hand-picked in 1800 from the estates of the Countess of Sutherland, and quickly established a reputation as one of the finest units in the British Army. Often described as a regiment of giants (the average height was 5'10"), this splendid unit was tragically squandered at New Orleans; ordered to halt only 150 yards from the American lines, the highlanders were mowed down in their ranks, suffering an appalling 75% casualties before they were finally allowed to withdraw. This item is an unpainted and unassembled white metal (lead free) hobby kits in the 54mm International collectors scale. Standing Figures in this scale measure Approximately 2-1/2" to 3". Kit is recommended for ages 8+ Artist Credits – Sculpted By Sheperd Paine / Painted Master By Sheperd Paine |
