 :wave: Hello Cheng,

on the left it is just a painted arabian hat, you can find it in the old set or this 30 29 3420 - Cowl for desert headdress + 30 29 3430 - Headband, wrapped, for desert headdress. On the right, you can use a old or new african hat (for example: 30 08 6100 - Helmet, pith) a little customized.

Kind regards,
TJ

hello Tricornejock!
ya, the left one's wearing the Cowl  + wrapped headband  ;)

why didnt I think about using the colonial pith hat?!
then i wouldnt have needed to spray it and leave it in authentic PM colour  :(

I must check it out, maybe the colonial/african jungle hat is oval and not round enough....
so I used another PM part...anybody knows which?  :P

Arnaud, I'll take a top photo view side-by-side with a colonial pith helmet and an old fireman's helmet
...there's no hole, no filling, no milliput, (its a reflection from the lighting)  ;D

Can't find the part number for it, but is it the ladies' hat like shown in blue in the bottom right corner of this picture? http://playmodb.org/setpics/3145.jpg ?

I also think it must be a  lady's hat but not that one... unless it was sanded down. This one has like a stripe all around it.  :hmm:

mmm or it could be a medieval helmet like the black lion soldiers....sanded down.  :)

Gaston's second guess is the one I am going after. that helmet is the only one that can sit on a klicky head like that. although, if thats it, it must have took you a lot of sanding to make it this way  :o 30 07 6460 - Helmet, flared bell

Yep, the flared bell helmet is it, I'm sure.
