James Bond, Thunderball movie, he visits the Kiss Kiss Club. Here is how I built the band stand. I started with some model airplane sprue. I cut off the branches and trimmed up the mold lines.I used bits of glue to make a base for these bits of sprue that will make the uprights for the band stand cover. I got bits of sprue that had a slight curve at the top. I glued a small base to each one.Then I took a Barbie serving tray that I got at Dollar Tree and cut off the handles. Then turned it over and used it as the stage. Then I glued the sprue uprights to a piece of sheet plastic that fit the serving tray. I used beads for the drums with a little very thin sheet plastic for the drum skins. Two of the smaller drums are pins from interlocking bricks, like Lego, but generic. The figures are generic civilians from Amazon, each one on a small sheet plastic base. I printed out pictures of curtains from the Internet to use as curtains. I found a font similar to the one used in the movie and made the sign for the band name.The figures are not painted yet, but but this is the general mock up I came up with. The Barbie tray was used for another project after I decided I wanted a larger bandstand for this group. Still needs more paint and touch up but you get the idea. Guitars, maracas and tambourine are cut out of plastic.

Rock and Roll Band
Continuing my work on the hotel project I have put together a rock and roll band.Lead girl singer, two guitars, keyboard, drummer and three girl back up singers.They are all on individual bases that are removable, apart from the three girl back up singers who are all one one base.The gray over pink is the color these figures came in and while I will likely keep the color scheme but repaint them. I plan on keeping the bases white. I still have to paint details like the musical instruments. The guitars were simply drawn on sheet plastic and then cut out and glued on. I did some re-posing of the figures but not much. Parr of the drumset is just lego type pins for drums and sheet plastic for cymbals.
