I am considering to add some Ku Klux Klan to my Texas Rangers vs The Hill Billies Project. I have seen that UncleMike has some suitable cultists in pointy hats but are there other options? Grateful for any help!

i have the same idea about hill billies, G men and KKK figurines.
I have in mind two period, a old west one and more modern one (1930s). I use the Pulp figurines but i have to upgrade the pointed hat to a great size with some miliput like material.  ;)

a pic or two of my work will follow soon

here they are :


the 2th on the left is my "imperial great dragon" of the Klan. The "Pulp" hood tail must be remove and then resculpted on the top of the head to make it straight high. 

see the original here (1st on the top rank). His tommy gun arm is gone to a seeman for my king kong project......metal are too expensive now to waste anything. lol



His right arm has been converted from the 1st on the lelf, 2th rank :

Wow!

Nice work! I painted all my apulp cultists in red so I think I will try your method on some Artizan cultists  :)

i don't use milliput for the hoods, but this Pattex material (don't know the english words for "soudure à froid") :

Google says 'cold welding'... whatever that means?

But it looks more like some kind of filler/padding?

you have to mix the two color of putty just like Milliput but with a very quick time of drying.

Ah, it's probably a two-component epoxy, then  :)

I think paying nearly a euro for a little head is not unreasonable. Particularly if they're metal like these ones are.
