I am not sure this is the correct area, please correct me if I am wrong.
I am building a Swedish (based on McKay's Scottish and German (Munro's) Regiments based on more Victorian than wholly accurate sources) versus those dastardly HRE types in 1/32. My main interest is siege operations, hence why I am very slowly building a large star fort. I am comfortable with available figures etc, what I am having huge problems with is helmets (and logically heads to go with them). I have converted some helmets into 'lobster pot' types but I am not happy with the quality. I have read a number of blogs and searched on the web for 17th century spare heads. I have already swapped heads between figures (e.g. ACTA/Airfix onto ACTA/Britains figures, but its not what I like doing.
I am after morion helmets, Spanish morion helmets with the high comb, 'flat' pikemen's helmets, continental or 'Dutch' pot style helmest, (Zischagge), classic ECW type lobster pots, burgonets.
Can anyone point me towards some currently available vendors that can supply such heads/helmets.
I am working on scratchbuilding some mortars at the moment, I will post pictures when they are done.
Many Thanks
