Very nice,you sculpt that yourself? or is it made from cloth?

I`ve sculpted one though in Flecktarn for one of my Modern German troops though the Flecktarn camo hides a lot of the work.

Very nice

thanks steel, give it a try it is easy and great way to customize
since you are the only one to comment maybe we wil be the only two with field caps... ha ha ha JK
I'd like to see some of your hats, are any of them removable?
My 5th SF tiger camo boonie hat is removable
thanks again, I appreciate your comments from "over the pond"
cheers mate.

You could also pull the hat off the S1 Panzer grenadier figure, sand out the little peg in it and then paint it to whatever color you wanted

Med,
Thank`s mate & I`ll sort out some photos of just the hats

The M43 type i did for my Modern German is afixed to the head.

TMan,
Yea i`ve done that too when i`ve found that figure,then you have a rather nice cap that`s removable

argh, I don't have that figure (panzer grenadier)
I also did not know the hat comes off, is there a deaths haed on the hat?
I was thinking I could use the new german figures removable hats to make a field cap...

The hat comes off with a bit of prying. The hat like all the D German troops is Wehrmacht insignia on the cap.

As for removable,well you could dremel out some of those Tanker heads add the peeks & the little work to make them look like M43s

Then you have removable caps
