For my diorama on the medieval tournament I thought from the beginning, not so much to the scene of the ride, with the Knights facing each other, as the attempt to give the idea of a celebration, then with a crowd of people and a procession with horsemen, trumpets and ........ drummers. Yeah ... the drummers. But while the boundless market figures 1/72 there is so little, almost nothing! I decided to create me from my drummer Medieval and in this post I present to you the result. I used a Lancer taken from the set of Italery Medieval Tournament.
Dopo aver tagliato la lancia in due pezzi per farne i bastoni del tamburo, ho utilizzato la gommina di una matita per formare il corpo del tamburo. / After cutting the lance in two pieces to make the drum sticks, I used the eraser of a pencil to form the body of the drum.
E questo il risultato. Cosa ne pensate? / And this is the result. What do you think?
Ciao

This is wonderful indeed! You're first conversion and so well done. You've not been doing figures for long-remarkable. And my favortie thing of all is that you chose to make him into a drummer. Thank you!
RispondiEliminaThanks Anne, I'm glad you liked it, and I can honestly say that I am pleased with this first attempt. Someone wrote on Benno's forum a drummer in arms is not credible. I like to think that the drummers in battle with the army, they had to somehow protect ..... But then again, mine is only a first attempt. thanks for watching
RispondiEliminaEssex makes mounted drummers and drummers as part as of foote regiments. I am Irish and drummers were an important part of our Celtic armies. I am a drummer myself and like to thing as you do. That these men also fought beside their fellow soldiers.
RispondiEliminaBut I am merely an artist and not a historian and I'm quite sure the forum would dismiss me easily!
very good work, I think that he is a very good representation of a drummer for a tournament, armoured to show the wealth of the patron and given what looks like a very nice well made and decorative drum! Great first conversion

thanks Peter! In fact, it was not difficult because the appear lent itself to easy conversion, I simply observe and imagine how I wanted. However, I really like to convert and this was just an first attempt "easy" to start.
