FFL Kettledrummer 7

I have added small pegs to each kettledrum. Even though the tuning keys are not visible in any of my references, kettledrums have to be tuned. I think that an internal mechanism for tuning these kettledrums without visible tuning keys is correct. Thus, these pegs would be present on each kettledrum to loosen or tighten the rim holding the drumskin.  These pegs would serve to create a "geometrical" shape to the kettledrum banners.

The banners were wrapped around each kettledrum, pressed in at each face and superglued. This was quite fiddly and superglue is not perfect for ensuring a permanent bond. In addition, each kettledrum was upended and epoxy glue was dribbled into the recessed areas between the banners and the kettledrums. This epoxy glue can be seen glistening in the photo. Any excess that leaked through were wiped up. The end result is a very strong structure attaching the banners to the kettledrums.

The horse was undercoated in matt black at this stage.
