Product Review, Rubicon Models Market Produce Set 1 28mm 1/56th scale

 

just what the pillagers were looking for!

       Every once in a while I find something that I didn't know I needed until I saw it at Michigan Toy Soldier. This is one of those things; a set of market goodies to add that little touch of realism to your game. This sort of thing is normally cast in resin or plaster which is usually expensive and fragile. These beauties are cast in light durable plastic which displays excellent detail.

 

box with contents, two sprues,
 nicely bagged so small parts don't get lost

a good variety in storage options
 
the sprung chassis on the cart places it in a more modern era 
but this can be easily remedied by swapping some wagon wheels onto the cart body

        All in all a useful set. The detail is excellent, the choice of different types of bags and crates keeps it from looking like a factory floor. The cart is very much a more modern item, clearly set in the last 150 years or so but that is a simple fix. This set offers excellent value for money and I am eagerly awaiting the implied Set #2.
