Another PM part suitable for a making a samurai Jingasa

[cheng]

Recognise the dark grey PM veil?
also very suitable for representing the pieces of cloth underneath the war hat worn by samurai foot soldiers.
with a little bit of sandpapering(not too much or the 'veil' will come off easily.....our PM heads are slightly flexible, especially the flange on top of the heads, even more so if you use those newer heads with long deep cuts for inserting earrings etc, making those even more flexible to hold the veil tightly)
then saw the excess lengths off just before the veils touch his shoulders/shoulder pads.
(the old bedouine veil is also suitable except that its difficult to get them now, especially the old white ones)

Interesting use of that "veil", yes.... For me, it would need something to finish the front, but I really leke that first.. uhm... head

(and recognized, yes )

first from the left?? but thats the oldest head, no cut out even for beards.
luckily the brim of the jingasa covers the forehead....no reason for me to look at the figures from below.
doesn't bother me....otherwise i'll paint the joint black

Yes, looks great, except for the "notches" showing a bit of the head.. Probably the same as the second one, but the position makes it look better, imo...

Nice design, cheng. I like that headdress piece; it's great for mages too (when used with the circlet piece).

[cheng]

thanks Playmofriends!
so, finished....just a little project to keep myself interested

[Pynedor]

Nice! They look awesome. Do the heads have bodies yet?

....Do the heads have bodies yet?

been staring at these 'tank-like' armor ('Do' or 'Dou' and wondering how to make them look more simple for samurai soldiers...and planning to customize 4 pairs of black legs soon....thanks for your encouragement, Playmofriends!

If you figure it out, share, master cheng

I have a problem with that armor, because it is so HUGE....
