[Figure Mad]

Hi Guys

As the title says I am looking for companies that sell 54mm resin bare heads, with various expressions from dead to shouting, I have looked at Hornet theirs are a little small(1/35 scale ) I am doing a scratch build dio of the ECW and any help would be good........

Please

Dave

Hi Dave,

Historex has some heads. But I don't remember if they're bare and at the momment I'm having some trouble reaching their webpage.

I'll take a look later and tell you something more.

Cheers,
Paulo

Shenandoah makes some very good 54mm heads, though they're in white metal

Hi Dave,

It's me again.

I just remember and went to Historex Agents and searched for heads.

Among the several results there were heads from Andrea and Historex.

The Andrea heads aren't bare but Historex has some but I couldn't confirm because there's no pics of them.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Paulo

Hornet produced a few sets of 1/32 heads. So you may want to look at their product line.~Gary

Historex makes some nice ones. I think head set #7 is the last one I got. It's very good with several expressions. As Gary said Hornet makes three 1/32 sets that are the same quality as their 1/35.

Historex do 3 sets , 2 of which are character heads - these are the ones you want Dave, they're pretty damned good.

Hello Dave,
There is the italian firm MUSSINI, selling 2 sets of heads in 1/32, bare heads, or haired in various styles, among them also one piece with tipical features of a colored man. Once they were the preferred by our friend Ivo Preda.
Here the link

Dave, the exact scale you're going to be working at has a large bearing on what'll work here. As far as the Hornet heads go, remember that Bill Horan has made extensive use of them over the years for his 1/32 scale (true 54mm) pieces.

Some or all of the sets produced by Historex are sculpted by Julian Hullis and they're very good, some of the best available IMO, but they may be a little large for what you need. Historex figures are roughly 1/30 scale, not 1/32.

Same thing with the MIG spare heads that I sculpted, most are made for the current crop of figures which are quite a bit larger than 54mm in height - 60-65mm. Some are a bit smaller though (deliberately! ) Here are the two bald sets which would probably be most useful:

The entire range can be seen here.

These look quite nice Einion. I'd forgotten you did these. Haven't seen any in the round yet though.
