Scott Dummitt

The Canadian Guards circa 1965, Corps of Drum, 1st Battalion – This set was made up from the Prince August 54mm toy soldier mould. The Bearskins were filled out using Mili-putt as were the drum major's sash, drum slings, bass drum apron, and the fife cases. The Snare Drums, Bass Drum, Cymbals, and Fife are all moulded from the Prince August band instrument moulds. The tenor drums are from another company. The tightening rods on the snares and bass drum are brass rod, cut to size and painted. The ropes are made of twisted wire. The display base is made from an old wooden snare drum ring. It was sanded down and repainted to the style that the Guards use to have. The inner display area is railroad grass on a circular piece of plywood. The cap badge is an actual Canadian Guards badge.

These moulds are available here.
