I had some left-overs from previous builds and used them to construct my own drummer.
The Dutch ModelSoldiers Society ( https://www.modelfiguren.nl ) has made a 80-years war drummer but it is more fun to make your own.
I used the body of the Airfix musketeer, the drum is from the Dutch modelsoldiers society ( Tamboer regiment Leefdael) Head also from the society( Hoofdjes 80-jarige oorlog) . Arm are from my Historex sparesbox and one arm from the Leefdael Tamboer. I also used the other hand with the drumstick.
You have to drill a hole into the body to attach the drum.
Straps are made of metal foil. It looks like the strap is going under his collar, but you have to cut the strap right at the underside of the collar .Otherwise you cannot make the strap going the right way.
After priming painting is done. Face in oils and clothes and drum in acrylics
