Spock,
What era do you need them for? I know that some modern figures have been put out recently (by Warriors, I think) and Verlinden does some Afghan figures.
I am trying to get a crew for my Red Ball Express Jimmy. I know someone made a set of heads that I could use but can't remember who.

A head change would be all you need. Don't Hornet do a African head set?

Hornet does, indeed, have at least one set of African heads. Shenandoah has a set with some bare heads as well as heads with kepis, these are geared to ACW but could be used as is or with a bit of surgery. .

Remember, if the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

I think Hornet also do sets of Russian helmets, which you might find useful if you are planning on doing an African conflict scene... Wink [;)]

Here is also a link to Hornet's East German Helmet set. East Germany supplied several freedom and insurgency groups...
