This is a company out of Indonesia called "Ant Mini Drums" which will make a mini replica set of your kit when you send them a pic of your set.I have no idea of their price ranges but i`m going to look further into this.Their work looks very impressive! Kind of cool-check it out.

Those are pretty cool Wayne. Please let us know more and the cost once you find out.
$120. for a basic kit: 1-up, 1-down set-up with hats & cymbals.

Thanks John.
John,i just briefly went thro` the site and thought i saw $60.00 for a 5 pc with 3 cymbals somewhere on there.I`ll check it out more thoroughly when i have time.They likely wouldn`t be able to replicate the old vintage wraps tho` i wouldn`t think.But if they could... that would be very cool and expensive ta` boot no doubt.First time i`ve ever seen any one offering this sort of service-may be very lucrative for them.

This is a reasonable replica of my old Mapex Saturns. Needs another bass drum, floor tom, stand for ride toms...
Well, they're red and have gladstone lugs.

I got one of those for Christmas last year.
Came across this thread on the weekend, and it's taken me a while to dig up the picture, but here it is. This is a replica I did back in the 90s, of my Pearl BLX kit. The figure I used, was a ''Big Jim that I'd lopped off the head, and replaced with a plasticine sculpture of my own. Sorry for the dust, but it is difficult to keep clean. I can't estimate the amount of time I spent on this, but believe me, it was significant. If these guys can produce something comparable for less than a couple of hundred, it would seem like a bargain to me... if I had the money that is. Cool stuff.
This is a cool idea/novelty/gift item, but personally I'd rather spend my $120 on a nice snare or maybe even a 1960's/1970's Ludwig kit garage sale find. That is if I'm lucky. :) BTW, garage/yard sale season is coming, so keep you eye peeled.

Man, I would love to make one (or three) of those for myself! Where on earth do you get the parts to assemble those tiny kits? If I can find a source for parts, I'd assemble a few different kits for myself.
Great stuff. I love the double-braced stands and the tiny T-rods on the bass drum. Amazing!
