Hello, does anyone know where I can find some 28mm scale Pickelhaube heads compatible with Perry Miniatures' Zulu War or Mahdist Revolt British Infantry (i.e. not, say Curious Constructs or Anvil Industries)? I would like them with just regular faces, without gas masks. Thank you. (Please disregard the other thread; that was an accidental doublepost) |

Have you tried Victoria Miniatures? Though you may have to do some work on the badges. link There is this chap on Shapeways too: link |

Victoria Miniatures, being heroic scale, is not my first choice. I did look at Shapeways, but $160 USD for 18 heads (especially when I need about twice that number for one Perry box) makes Games Workshop prices sound reasonable. |

The Perry Zulu War plastic infantry box comes with Home Service helmets as an option. Would they do? |

I was specifically looking for German-style Pickelhauben, as opposed to British Home Service Helmets that are pretty much Pith Helmets with spikes added to them. They COULD work I guess, but it would require quite a bit of conversion. |

Steve Barber has FPW Saxon Pickelhaube heads. link Saxons will have a different emblem at the front, but i dont think that will be a problem. I dont know the exact scale. So maybe you have to buy one package to check. |

Looking at some other pics of them, those Saxon heads would actually work perfectly. Thank you Decebalus. |
