Mounted Hussar Drummer Miniature?
« on: April 23, 2012, 03:54:47 PM »
Hello,
I'm kicking around making a drummer for my Hinterland Miniatures Leibhusaren company, and I was wondering if anyone makes a 28mm Hussar drummer on horse. I asked on TMP and only had one response.

Something along these lines:



I suspect I'll have to do some conversion and sculpting, but I was hoping to have something to start with.

Thanks!
a mixture of quick parts, sarcastic humour, reserve, and caprice.

Send Mancha an e-mail and I'm sure he could sell you the parts to make one yourself.

And curse* you: now I have to.

The Hinterland parts are already on the way :)
I was hoping that I wouldn't have to sculpt drums and the cloth panels but it's looking like I'll have to.

I give you my blessing, and in response I shall nick your axebeak cavalry idea :)

You could perhaps use the arms and the kettledrums from a 1700 period mounted kettle-drummer - Front Rank perhaps?

Have you tried Tradition they have lots of nice bits, you might also look at WWII full dress bandsmen

I've idly wondered what sitting sidesaddle would do to one's rhythm before.    :)
