    Does anyone know if its possible to buy WW1 German soft round field caps or officer's caps in 1/35 (54mm) scale that are not already attached to heads? I've got a little vignette coming up and need to find one.

    I have not seen them sold separately, though that doesn't mean that they aren't. But they would be relatively simple to add from some 2-part epoxy putty or similar medium. Especially the enlisted ranks’ Feldmütze, aka Krätzchen. Have you thought about that, or is it not something you're interested in tackling?

    Prost!

    Not something I really want to tackle Baron. I just don't have the skills, however I was thinking if the worse comes to the worse, I could purchase some hornet heads and take carefully take the caps of those.

    Does Hornet make heads of WWI Germans? I didn't know.

    If you do go over to Hyperscale, you might as well ask in their figure forum while you're there, too.

    Prost!

    Hornet and Jon Smith Modellbau both do German WWI heads but no field caps on their own. JSM do lots of German WWI equipment in 54mm including many different types of helmet but no field caps. The ICM 1/35 German WWI equipment sets include helmets but no field caps. The old Scale Link range also has lots of equipment accessories in 54mm but no field caps.

    I think you will either have to use helmets instead or resort to sculpting (or scalping Hornet/JSM heads....).

    Now that's good info Andrew, didn't think to look at that set. ICM always supplies the headgear separate from the rest of the head......
