drum set and musical instruments

  I built these way back in the early '60s out of medicine bottles,  scrap chrome bits and pieces, the lids for cymbals, balsa wood for the guitars and amps and popsickle sticks for the stage. This was built just as the Beatles were becoming popular and I was playing drums at school dances and teen clubs in the Phx area. The Vox amp tilts on the stand. These were first placed in a guitar that the front was broken out of and I put some shelves inside for the instruments and cut a piece of clear plastic for the front cover. I pulled these out for a possible diorama with some '50s--'60s cars and hot rods.  I had to replace the heads on the drums because they had yellowed like the keys on the keyboard. I put the wrong combination of black keys on the piano but no one ever noticed, but me.  Thank you for looking.  Patrick  Mitchell

 These are old builds and missing parts. I tried to stay as close as I could to 1/24th scale. I don't think I would try this again. Patrick  Mitchell
