Title: looking for separate heads with top hats
Post by: commissarmoody on 24 August 2009, 05:50:06 PM

i know lots of companies produce separate heads for converstions and was wondering if some one made heads with top hats?
Looking to make some war of 1812 milita and rifles units

Redoubt do separate heads in their ACW range. You migth find something suitable in there.

Wouldn't hats like those be very quick and simple to convert out of greenstuff etc? I say this as a complete modelling incompetent and I'm sure I could do it  ;)

I was thinking of just doing that, but its for a about 40 tennesse militia, and some mounted/ dissmounted rifles, Malamute would you happen to have pics of the texas round hats? I couldnt find any myself or of there minatuers ether. They might be a good base for makeing the hats I want.

I haven't got any photos, and they are not photographed on the redoubt website. :?
I got a pack or two of the Redoubt heads when I was converting figures for the Alamo.
The round hat came with a random selection of other headgear, probably Confederate slouch hat packs.

There's a few Heroclix figures with top hats you could get dirt cheap on Ebay.  Zatana, the Shade and the Mad Hatter.

Give me a few days and we will see what we can do! We do some hats anyway. Will see whether a head with a top hat or seperate top hats would work better.

This would also be very useful in plenty of other periods, such as VSF, Colonials, Old West etc.
