Portuguese Drummer 3

I built up the headdress with a busby bag. This looks like a mirliton with a turned-up round peak in front. Feathers were added. The feathers were pinned to the hat for strength. I added wire hands and inserted drummer hands. The calves were built up and I started to sculpt the rest of the tunic in stages.

This shows the short coat tails added. I carved into the tunic waist on the left side to create a pull-in effect with the drum sling.  Note the basic sandals. Note the large ornamental cord end on the busby bag.

The back of the tunic.

Edging and collar added to the front of the tunic.

The coat tails were covered with putty.

The facings were sculpted in.
