Sculpted by Carl Reid
Painted by Sang-Eon Lee

Last month Model Cellar brought us an unusual subject seldom seen in the miniature market with a bust of John "Black Jack" Kehoe of the "Molly Maguires" . An Irish Immigrant coal miner from the coal mines of Pennsylvannia. Sculpted by the talented Carl Reid with the box art painted by Sang-Eon Lee this kit is cast in 8 parts resin in 1/9th scale.

Packaged in Model Cellar's sturdy brown cardboard box the kit comes sealed inside a plastic bag and wrapped in bubble wrap. The kit comes in 8 resin parts as seen above.

Above you see multiple views of the separate cast head showing a striking resemblance to Sean Connery.

Above you see the head dry-fitted down into the neck socket for the head.

Now we see the head and hat dry-fitted into their respective positions.

The above top photograph shows the 2 part pick and below you see the front of the canteen miners carried with them into the mines.

Above is the bust plinth showing a relief of a coal mine on the front of the plinth.

The kits comes with additional color photos as well as a three page history of the "Molly Maguires.

Conclusion:
An excellent kit we will be sure to see on many show display tables. Excellent dry-fitting of parts. Some seam lines need to be removed. Highly recommended.
