After working out a rough set plan and having a design in place, we moved onto deciding how we were to make our props. We don't really have that much time nor expertise to be moulding every single prop from scratch, so by using the Royal Bank of Grace we were able to purchase most of what we needed for a successful set of props.
Yesterday evening, I worked on putting together the drum kit of which took a tedious couple of hours. I think it looks fantastic and we will aim to paint the kit and design a band logo for the front very soon.
I bought a set of Iwako erasers from Blott in Leeds Trinity Centre last week as I thought by having a few cakes and unhealthy food props that were the correct sizes for the characters would help illustrate parts of the song better as the characters could hold up foods that correspond with the lyrics.
I managed to get hold of a Playmobil saxophone for Aubrey of which we may repaint or add some plasticine around it to give it a more 'rough and ready' look. The measurements are relatively in proportion to Aubrey's model, so will fit in really nicely. Modelling a miniature saxophone proved too difficult in the end, so purchasing a cheap dolls' version was a better option.
