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.
