drum harness & Taiko drums
« on: November 02, 2011, 07:22:58 »
2 questions here;

Q1: anybody has this circus clown and can take a photo of both the harness and drum separately? (I'm hoping to customise a drum carried by a Ashigaru)

Q2: anyone has this very old PM red indian drum and can take a photo to show both sides of the drum skins? can the drum be separated into two? and is the printing actually just a sticker?(most probably so in such old sets) which set does it come from? (cant find it in playmoDb :P)
I promise not to ask for the ETN (number) ;D

Nope, don't have either.
These guys are way too scary.....I vote for the clown, who is much less threatening!
Could we make him Asian somehow....oooops, I don't recall seeing any clowns in Asia, Pgal
After two decades of male toys (esp. Lego and PM) in our house, it is time to build something for us women!

Can't help unfortunately, however I do hope you find them because it will become spectacular customs.

I don't have that clown, but the harness is VERY similar to the diver breathing tank harness, so you could use those instead

I don't have that indian drum but it is in this set
http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=3732

and it comes as a single "half" drum with a stand under it...the same mold was used for this part which is current enough to still be available... it also has stickers

Someday, I will organize my stuff, I promise.

I have no clue about the clown, but you can check my drums  ;)

These are no stickers, they are print-ons. and Baron is correct, its one skindrum and not two. there is an even older skindrum in 3328x - Indian Warrior and 3569 - Medicine Man and Warriors which had stickers.

thanks anyway conniefrere!

and thanks a lot Baron!
I do have a yellow harness with a tank clipped on...but I couldnt find it in playmoDb....maybe it actually belongs to the circus clown (but I only started collecting much later) so as you rightly pointed out, the stubs/pegs for fitting into the tank or clown's drums are the same.

very nice set 3732...very clear thanks to collectobil...at least now I'm sure this part (if I ever find one or better still, 2) wont be anything like those blown-up soft plastic toys

same mould? I think you meant the one with 3 legs (and not the animal trainers's green pedestal)

The yellow harness is more commonly found as this:

30 02 9640 - Diver's vest

Yours is probably from one of these underwater sets if it had a tank on it.

Both vests are the same I think

Damo :)

I'm trying to synchronise what I see with what I read :P
