Hi Guys
I made a couple of post awhile back asking if anyone knew of a company that made Chinese infantry, Korean war period, in 1/35th scale. I came up empty both times. So I'm looking at doing my first major figure conversions. Does anyone know where I can at least find some Asian heads ? The padded uniforms don't look that difficult to make, but I'm no where close to being good enough to carve a face, heck I would not even know where to start.

Hi Harry,
Sorry been gone for awhile just saw this post.
DML had put out some chinese troops charging in the padded uniforms and you can still find them though their marked as oop and they also put oiut a Dshka ground aa mounted weapon with crew oops as well but have seen it out.
Hornet has a very nice asian bare head set. HTH

Hornet make a set of Asian heads.
Sorry I don't have the number of the set, since I normally open the packages and put all the heads into one container.

Hi guys
Thanks for the replys.
Thomas - I saw those sets some time ago when I was looking for something else. As always the way, when I went back to find them. All I found was oop. I'm still checking some of the online shops, and ebay.
Dave - I read your post and had this vision of your desk with containers of bodypart all over the place, like something out of a Stephen King book. . Does Hornet have a site, or is this somthing I need to shop around for ?
Again, thanks for the replys

Hornet if you want to order from UK.
Colorado Miniatures if you want to order in US. I'm not sure who else carries them this side of the pond.

Hey Hot-wheels,
I just checked the set in my spare heads box and the Hornet & Wolf website.
http://www.greenwichgateway.com/hornetandwolf/Hornet/headsets/pages/HH07.htm
The set I have is marked HH7 but H & W have them listed as HH 07.
I hope that helps.
Cheers

Hi guys
Carl - I'll post the whole div after two things
First - when I recover from auto blindness caused by
building 20,000 plus figs.
Second - When I get that really really wide angle len
I'm thinking of two dios. One showing the road march { the bigger of the two } It should have two - four vehicles, and approx 10 - 15 figs. This will be beyond any dought the biggest dio I have ever planned let alone tried to build. To be honest it scares the %$#@ out of me Then I see these guys who have bought and built the Dora, and I find curage to go on.
The second dio is more of what to do with the left overs. For every set of figs I've picked up I use one two maybe three at most. The rest are in combat poses that I just can't use So, the idea is to show some of the hard fighting when the CCF first launched thier attacks {More research needed }
Right now I'm in the process of collecting kits, and working up the nerve to post update photo. I never thought posting pics would be that scary Hell I would almost rather get married again.
Haary.

I guess I'm lucky. I am coming up on my 24th.
Pictures are easy once you do a few. It took me about 4-5 tries before I learned how.
