Another way to get bald heads is the "hat" for the baldie in set 4247. Just paint it and itll work great!



(first post yay)

that's quite a good suggestion Venser, thanks....I do have quite a few in different colors....but I try not to paint unless I can find a 'skin' colored spray (I have to have an even finish as though it is original) and furthermore, its too thick for a samurai 'sweat band'....as it is, I'm not comfortable using the plamo-baldie's head and don't want to sand it down....yet....you've given me this new idea and I might sand down the regular baldie head and see if it looks better.... so you HAVE given me a new idea...will report back and BIG thank you, in fact! 

(so, definitely not those 'turbans' below, as they will need a hair piece underneath)

The sacrificial head idea is a good one, particularly if you want a head that is mostly bald and thanks to the printed heads, it will be easier to source such curved surfaces in the right colour. I want to try something similar for european monks.

Actually, I meant the guy without a turban. However, you don't just have to use it for samurai--it works for a variety of purposes.

oh sorry, now I understand..you mean to paint the dark skin to light skin color....
but its a lot easier to get these bald heads in light skin color than dark....and we dont have to paint them

what do you mean by 'sacrificial head'? 
the baldie with a sweat band?

[cheng]

finally, sweat band (more correct) in white on this new monk using our Roman toga(?)

[cheng]

and speaking of meat bands.... I made a more correct Japanese sweat band....narrow and with knot in the front

Nice work master

Never ceases to amaze me the way you can twist those things and make them do you bidding!

couldn't resist putting on a Super 4 head.....looks fine too huh?
