When you know that the scale is 54mm, and that much detail is added on, leaves me speechless. Beautiful job.

Some progress on the kettledrums now, expecting to complete the construction by Christmas.

Wonderful progress Paul.
Can you tell us what gauge of copper wire you use for the twisted cord fringes please?
I can see its .015 for the braid.
There are so many sizes available on spools in Maplins and I wanna try your technique on something myself.

Amazing work.
Wonder how you gonna paint all this, when it is now glued together.
Keep us informed.
