Title: 28mm Asian Bamboo Hats?
Post by: Maksim-Smelchak on May 11, 2008, 04:45:52 PM

28mm Asian Bamboo Hats?

Hi All,

*** Who makes 28mm Asian Bamboo hats? ***

I'm almost done with my 28mm Barbary Corsairs pirate crew and I'd like to convert some 28mm Orcs into pirates next...

Black Cat and others makes cool little tricornes, but I'd like to find some small helmets to convert orcs and goblins. Orcs are easy... bigger hats fit their heads.

But, goblins and snotlings are difficult since they have very tiny heads... maybe 1/72 or HO size heads.

*** Any ideas where to find head gear for converting the tiny green folk into proper pirates? ***

I also know about the Reaper hat set...

Thanks ahead of time for any advice!

Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

Scroll down to the section on "Mass Producing Conical Hats", basic method but appears to have worked for his Pirate conversion.
