Which 28mm manufacturer makes separate 'Fulani' hats ?
« on: 24 June 2017, 03:17:48 PM »
Hi, Lead Adventurers,

I have African Savannah heavy and light cavalry from three or more manufacturers, and one of them shipped me separate conical Fulani hats which fit onto the heads of their cavalry figures. I need a few more of those very delicately-molded hats for my awesome camel-mounted kettledrum-pounders, but cannot figure out which manufacturer I should contact to try to purchase more.

As my first suspicion, I emailed Irregular a few days ago to ask, but they are busy and haven't gotten back to me yet.

Here is a link to a picture:

Please let me know which manufacturer casts 'em separately !

Thanks in advance.

Chick

Your link isn't working, Chick.

I didn't know anybody made such a thing. In the past I have made my own slightly crappy ones out of plasticard and miliput/greenstuff.



I have made a better, second attempt on a more recent as-yet unpainted figure, with a bit more detail. Guess if I ever get around to doing lots of them I'll become a dab hand, but I'm not currently pursuing those projects.

Wow, yours look great, Plynkes !!

I think I fixed the link. 

I'll try to photograph some of my Fulani.

maybe you can try to convert those ones sold, as separate packs of ten in their renaissance equip range,  by TAG..i bought some for a slightly different headgear to convert some of my Moroccans and West African minis

Nice idea, thanks, Italwars. 

But SOMEBODY makes exactly what I want, and I can't figure out which manuf.
