28mm Scale Firehats

OK, gotta crazy idea (don\'t we all?) based on someones ork army in another forum. He called his particular army list the \"Orkish Fire Drill\" and I immediately got an image in my head of a Warboss charging out of his firetrukk/battlewagon with a huge fire ax and a giant red fireman\'s hat on. Various grots with extinguishers following him and other Fire Boyz (along with the Burnas, of course) in other red trukks racing to the fire.

Most of my army\'s vehicles are already red and it made perfect sense when it hit me. My only problem is where do I come up with 2-3 dozen 28mm Firemans hats? I have zero (absolutely zero) sculpting skills and I can\'t seem to find anything on the internet. Has anyone seen or know of any models that might have been made with small firemens helmets? I wouldn\'t be opposed to purching entire models for removing thier heads.

Any ideas/links/sources would be greatly welcomed!

p.s. If you\'re the one on The-Waaagh! who has this list - I love that name it\'s perfect, had me laughing for some time!

That the sort of thing you\'re looking for?

That\'s pretty close, Pelorat! I do wonder if they might be a bit small, but that could work in my favor in heightening the humor factor. Big ork heads with tiny hats at all different angles, trying to keep\'em on.

I\'ll keep these in mind and maybe just try a few. THanks!

You funnily enough I remember asking this a while back - for some other random conversion idea I had :p

I THINK someone suggested DKoK helmets as being pretty similar... I forget...

Good luck :) Sounds fun :p

We all start somewhere :) Seriously, the first thing I sculpted in putty wasn\'t very good!

These are a fairly simple shape - approach it methodically, work in stages if you have to, shouldn\'t be too diffficult. Then you can make a press-mould and cast copies in GS or MS or whatever.
