Does anyone know of any 15mm miniatures with dreadlocks? I am looking to do some headswops building "King Willie's" gang from Predator II. I had some great suggestions from a previous topic I posted but would also like to see if head swops is an option aswell. Sadly I am useless with Green stuff so this option is out for me! :-( FYI; I was recommended; Rebel mini's in the previous post. Cheers Chris |

various companies Beja tribes miniatures (essex, minifig..)have some cool hair although less dready and more that specific fuzzy wuzzy look. |

McLovin how many heads do you need with dreadlocks ? |

Hmm.. I green stuffed some 20mm plastic Arabs terrorists into a Black Jamaican street gang, several dudes were given dreads. Im sure it would work with 25mm but would have to have a steady hand. |

I really think you might want to give green stuff another try. The effort involved in trying to swap and convert heads is about equal with the relatively easy task fo making dreads. In 15mm, you should be able to get away with a flattened blob of putty that is then divided and shaped with a well oiled (olive oil) hobby knife. I've done dreads in 28mm and even this is pretty simple. -Eli |
