Drummer 44th Rgt. 1812

[RRR]

From the Pegaso Models bust series the young drummer of the british 44th regiment, 1812.

Not an easy one, yellow is a difficult color and the strands ( right word? german is "Litze") are very difficult to manage.
I decided to make a drum for the base, completely from scratch. the drum sticks were made from toothpickers.
As all my figures, mostly painted with acrylics, Vallejo and others. Finish is often done with oils.

Cheers
Robert

Nicely done. The drum as base is an excellent idea.
