I need several replacement helmets for some Dragon Figures. Any suggestions for a supplier that fit Dragon Heads? I like the Dragon Helmets, need a few more. Often, Tamiya helmets seem too big for Dragon Figures? None left in the spares box, and to late to change heads......Thanks, JC

Not sure if you've found anywhere for your helmets yet, but I'd suggest investing in some Oyumaru - its a flexible molding compound that's re-useable.... So you could make some moulded of the helmets and use them, this is my plan ad I need some for a dio...

Check eBay or the For Sale section on here...

Im sure if you ask in the buy and sell forum, you´ll get plenty of guys who replace Dragon heads with Hronet or the likes, that have spare helmets, that would sell cheaply!
If not, you have also this possibility ... buy Hornet or Ultracast heads with the helmet yu´re looking for ... the facial details will also be greatly improved on these, which will make painting them easier and more effective. Ultracast also make nice helmets with liners, if you want to show bare heads! Another company that make metal punched helemts, that look very nice is SKP, although these are expensive!

Hi

VLS Warriors (if you can find them), SKP (real metal ones), Tank, all do German Helmets. I can't advise you on their size in comparison to others though. You might find the Tank ones come up big, but it depends on what figures you use.

Hi,
Take a look at Warriors # 35279, German Helmets. Saw them over on Squadron while browsing. Maybe they would work for you.
