Turbanned but not bearded 28mm heads
« 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.
Cheers,
Poiter50

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

are there some turbanned but no bearded heads in the perry's madhist sprue ? or in the zouave sprue ? ;)
Dans les situations critiques, quand on parle avec un calibre bien en pogne, personne ne conteste plus. Y'a des statistiques là-dessus.

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.
Back from the dead, almost.
