drum harness & Taiko drums

[cheng]

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 )
I promise not to ask for the ETN (number)

these are what I'm thinking of;

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

[cheng]

no worries Pgal!
btw our PM versions have cute faces and are usually smiling....I wouldnt want to collect those plastic scaled figures anymore.

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

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

fantastic photo WK!!
I'm trying to synchronise what I see with what I read
...so your photo shows 2 drums from 2 sets right?
