Revolutionary Drummer Boy (1 Viewer)

I assembled the following pieces to make a hybrid conversion. I scavenged the trousers from a Mokarex/Cafe Storme figure and added my own sculpted head, Airfix coattails, Historex drum and clogs.

Made a start of this figure.

This figure will be modelled after Joseph Bara, killed at the age of 12 years. He acted as a drummer/horse handler. Interestingly, I am using the legs from a Cafe Storme/Mokarex figure of Joseph Viala who served in the national guard and was also killed at a young age.
