Grenadier miniature by Ray Rubin

Found these photos on face book page called Old School gamers.  Talk about a flash back to my younger days in the late 70's and 80's.  I worked with Ray Rubin at the boom years at the Squadron shop.  Jerry Campbell and Walt  loncinski(King Plastic) .  Ray was working for Imrie/Risley a sculpter.   Walt got him to make a few figures for the Squadron Signal miniature series.  Campbell decided to sweet talk Ray into become the head Sculptor  Squadron Miniatures.   Turns oout Ray ws on sculptor.   Being from NYC Ray didn't have a drive license,  Like he said, why own a car when there taxi cabs.  Walt basically ended up taking care of Ray.  Once he got his license he could see Detroit...lol.   Ray and Walt became good buddies.  But Campbell was not the nice boss.  After a little while Ray figured out he got taken.    That is when Grenadier came about.  Ray loved painting exotic ladies and fantasy figures.
