Airfix/Historex conversion of American War of Independence Drummer

These kits have vast conversion potential. The details are very good and the plastic is easy to shape.
Using the Airfix AWI British Grenadier as a basis, a drummer was created. The drum came from a Historex spare. Musicians are always a very good and colourful choice for a conversion. Drummers can wear reversed colours and have lots of lacings added to their tunics.

In retrospect, the drum may have been hung too low on this model.
