Does anyone know of a maker of these, either stand alone or attached to the rest of a figure?

gas masks here. but no turbans.

Turbans are very easy and quite quick to make with a bit of green-stuff or similar. I've tried it with very acceptable resultson some of my Spanish Reconquista figures and I am by no means a skilled modeller

It wouldn't take too long to convert any gas-mask wearing heads to be-turbanned ones.

If someone made them, I'd get some!

I could Greenstuff if I wanted one or two, but I want 40 or more for my Sepoys on there deployment to Mars.

Ramshackle_Curtis is thinking of producing some VSF head sets. Give him a prod with this idea and a good description. You never know.

That could be a winner, I suppose the only issue will be compatibility.

Ahh, so compatibility? 28mm? 32mm?

Sets with turbans, sets with slouch hats and sets with (of course)pith helmets. Maybe top hats too? And german pointy Hunn helmets?

So maybe 5 heads on a sprue, 1 with a bionic eye, 2 open face and 2 with gas masks? Or 5 the same on a sprue? Or what? Ideas please.

I'd say 1 sprue with straight gas masks, and then another sprue with 'character' heads...

Dewbakuk · « **Reply #10 on:** February 22, 2009, 05:48:31 PM »

With regards to turbans, what kind are wanted here? Sikh? Indian? Arab? Turkish? Bashi? They're all different

With something like gasmasks, I'd say have a sprue of all gasmask heads. For other things, a mixed sprue is fine. With regards to bionic eye/targetting monacle, I've already said this but I'll put it in writing, have it as a fold down piece of equipment on a helmet or similar. Actually having it within the head is a bit too sci-fi for me.

Well for me I would like Sikh and/or Indian Army style turbans with gas masks. I already had pith Helmet and gas masks sculpted for me a while back in Heroic 28mm I suppose for scale.

As long as they're compatible with the plastic Warzone figures I'm happy. I agree that the gasmasks should all be one sprue of the same headgear, turbans, foreign service helmets, pickelhaubes, sun helmets, etc. I know the plastic Warzones come with a gasmasked pickelhaube head but it's not the nicest sculpt.

I'm liking the separate sprue idea.

Curtis, with your sculpting skills you'll do a good job. Easy on the rivets though.

...not too sure if this is too late...if you are looking for 28mm turbaned heads...you could try Redoubt...they do a separate head selection for their ACW zouaves (50p for 6 - with and without beards)...this will give you about 50% of what you are looking for...leaving the gas mask to be added and removal of beard and tassle bit from the fez
