O Scale Bagpiper?

Its an oddball scale but try checking 40mm military miniatures websites.

Marx had one. Costumes of the World or something like that. White plastic; full dress head to toe, "golf"berret, kilt, knee highs, etc I think there is a female dancer too...?; might be Irish.

 Not exactly sure of the size. I'll have to try and recall where he is hiding (I looked aroud real "quickening" like though. I'm just not ready to loose my head searching for that One 😐 😏 😂)

   Military would probably be more life-like. The McMarx pose is a sort of bow legged, or slightly squated stace. Like a guy blowing into a tuba with all his might. (Not awful, decent detail;  just not a "natural" looking stance imo. 

Britains figures have quite a few pipe bands.  perhaps you can find an odd man out of a set.

I'll do a search to see if I can find that model. I did see a plastic army bagpiper online but I think he's too big to be part of a scene. Thanks.

I have seen these but they all,seem to be 54mm 1/32 scale. Might have to go in that direction but hoping to find smaller version.

I'd say the Marx is about 1:43-1:56.  I've been hunting for an online example myself. Closest I came was the Cowgirl from the set.(white plastic is the key for faster visual searches) It's on a couple sites, but that's a few among a ton of small sites. I only recall I was lead to one or two pages via Thor's Trains/Toy Soldiers or one of the Marx tin train id sites.  I haven't stumbled across/ recalled the fate of my own Highlander yet.

 I found half of the pair at least. She has a twin sister if you're interested.

  No piper, no pewter owl, missing the Spaniard with castinettes, Mexican soldiers, and native N.Americans among other things....yet. ...hmmm🤔 Must have been swept into a box during a cleaning tirade.

Thanks for hunting. Fine looking lassie dancing she is, but the funeral piper is what I'm after. I'll keep looking.

If I had bagpipers positioned on my layout, I would play some very loud bagpipe background music to complete the scene.

Play, or "put on" music ?

🎵Playing🎵 would be impressive 😤. (insert leslie neilson's "I can hold my breath a looooong time" 😂)

(Someone has to do it )

I'd do better at a pole toss though. 🙄  (shame on ya 😑)

Or better yet a pastie eating contest. I won't care if I loose that cause I win first bite 😋

This is a shot of what I think is a gamming/collecting figure that would need some work. Clix I think; a "MM scale" very near 0.  (WWF wrestler Rowdy Rodney Piper) It may be a larger figure on a similar stand though. No info, I just saw the figure and grabbed the shot as a lead for you.

(Clix is/was  common comic book /game shop item. )

Oh, I got hunt that one down! Loved Rowdy Rodney even if it isn't perfect for a funeral. I have a bunch of Hero Clix on the layout already. Thanks for the lead.

  I met him couple of times enjoying some night life (and many other wrestlers) a long time ago. Pretty cool guy.... as long as he isn't "out of bubble gum"  (movie: They Live)

Not sure of the scale

 

 

1/30 scale or about 2.5 inches tall which is about an 3/4 to inch taller than most of my o scale figures. Finding lots of bagpipers in this size range.
