Source for 20mm North Vietnamese Helmets? Empty Source for 20mm North Vietnamese Helmets?

Post by irishserb Sun Jun 13, 2021 5:55 am

I'm trying to make some markers for infantry status, and was wondering if anyone makes either 20mm North Vietnamese helmets or packs of heads in helmets?

I've looked at several sites and found a bunch of options for US helmets, but not PAVN.

Thanks,

Darn, I was afraid of that. I'll probably just make one and cast it. Have to wait until later this year, when I have more items to cast though.

Thanks for the reply.

As a question what are you describing as a NVA Helmet? is it
1. classic 'Sun or pith helmet' uncovered
2. 'Coolie hat effect' cloth cover for sun helmet
3. as 1 or 2 with netting and foliage
4. Soviet pattern steel helmet

Just wondering.

I was looking for the pith helmet primarily, though any version of military issue helmet would work.

I ended up buying a box of plastic figs and slicing the helmets off of sosme of the figs. I was originally hoping for 20mm metal castings, as I figured that as such, it would be slightly heftier, which would have been preferable for use on markers, though not really issue.
