Title: Turbanned but not bearded 28mm heads
Post by: Poiter50 on 15 August 2015, 11:16:12 AM

I'm looking to add a section of Burmese Rifles to my CoC Chindits, can anyone recommend a range of non bearded but turbanned heads that I can add to some Perry Minis plastic Desert Rats? I have checked the West Wind, Woodbine and Warlord ranges but they all seem to have beards. The WG Burmese Scouts have only 2 poses and I want some variety in a section of 10 men.

I think the Muslim/Hindu heads from woodbine are clean shaven, but they will be to large to go with the perry bodies

Well when I asked about Grenadiers with moustaches I was told to make 24 out of greenstuff!
Are these any use?

Fiddly! Yes, they look fine, will likely add them to a future WW order (have just sent and received one). Chindits are a longer term project anyway.

Of the three turbanned heads on Crooked Dice's "Thugee heads" sprue, one has a beard, one a moustache, and one is clean-shaven.  Not a great ratio for you, but it's another option.
