At last an update.
Drums in place, The tunic needs to have the high's and lows added. and sticks fixed.
I have painted the Contraption for holding the drum Blue and slightly shaped them into a pair of trousers I have also added a yellow stripe,
Feel free to comment.

Looks good Mick. I'm having a base made for mine which should be ready by the end of the month. Then I can really begin. I might start the drums though if I clear my bench before the base is ready. I like the idea of painting the drum mount as trousers.

Thanks Mike.
Pleased you like it.
The Contraption to hold the drums has turned out very nice as a pair of trousers just needs a little bit of shaping and it brings it together.
Look forward to seeing yours.
All the best
Mick

Also a quick pick of the other two I have painted todate. The lancer is on the bench at the Moment.
