These are pretty damned sweet!

How do you feel the two manufacturers match up as far as sizing? It looks like the Mantic heads are a little large. Did you see that this was an issue overall?

Very cool. Will the kepi's go onto the zombie heads at all? Wondering if this would be a good way to make the Black Legion.
So many projects..... so little time.......

Wow! That is a lot of fodder!  :-*

I've always loved the weird west genre, even though I haven't bought into it yet.
Stuff like this makes it hard to resist.

So where are the ninjas?  lol

Cheers gents,

Yes the heads are slightly on the large side however as long as you avoid the ones with hair on them they seem to work ok and have a good feel about them. The trick was to chop the neck at the right angle otherwise the head sits too far down between the shoulders.

I had unfortunately thrown away the head gear many moons ago but I think they may ahve been a little small. I am tempted to do more some day as these didnt taske too long at all, just dry brushing and oil washes
