Jazz band and dancers
« on: December 28, 2012, 12:02:38 PM »
I picked these up off Eureka recently, a nice set of band members and dancers for your speakeasy needs :)
There's 2 male and 3 female dancers in states of dancing animation. They are simple yet very nicely done.

The band consists of a double bass, trumpeter, trombone, oboe, banjo, drummer, pianist and female lead singer. They're all pretty neat and cast well, there was a little flash in between the drummers arms, which seems reasonable for the pose. The faces are really nicely done, and I'm someone more knowledgeable could probably pick who they are meant to represent.

Very nice... my money is on Louis Armstrong on trumpet, Bessie Smith vocals... maybe Johnny Dodds on clarinet and Johnny St.Cyr on banjo?

What he said.

I can also see myself picking some of these up to use as 1920's zombies.
Some of those poses are spot on!

Drop Nic at Eureka an e-mail and he'll sort you out :)
That usually works for me when I don't have the patience to wait for stuff to get up on the website.

They are even better in the hand. Great sculpts and arrived on Christmas Eve.

The clarinettist is wrong, by the way.
The hands are the wrong way around. And, no, there's no such as a left-hand clarinet.
You might need to sculpt the clarinet away from the playing position at least.

The banjo should be a four or five string as well if you want Twenties vintage. Six strings were very late.

Still, a fantastic set. I want a Fifties saxomophonist (Bird, Coltrane, Dex etc)

Is it? Left hand up, right hand down! Isn't it right?
