Period Imperial Heads

[evancelt]

Sideburns, Mustaches, and Muttonchops.

To get a 1700s/1800s feel for my imperial minifigs, I like heads w/ sideburns, bushy mustaches, and muttonchops. Stubble is fine, but I'd rather they looked sharp. The soul patch head is goofy but acceptable. I like to save beards for my pirates.

Are there other heads out there that you know of that I should take a look at? Given the choice, I like the ones with the white eye pupils.

I like all of them ;)

Only critism I have is those Non lego hats...... Other than that, they look great! I only preserve those type of heads for officers, as I like personally my troops have clean shave. of course I have some stubbles in there to make it so that the soldier  didnt get to shave that morning, for one reason or another. ANd yes, they will be scoulded by their superiors, just as it would have been in that time period.

Thanks! Any other heads out there that you know of that I should take a look at?

 

I've got 4x or 5x of each of the ones pictured above, so i can spread them among the troopers as well as officers.

I feel like you could make one with classic smiley :)

Same here, I'd stick to using all white eye pupils as without them they don't look right if you mix them. There are literally hundreds that would work well just fire up bricklink using this search and enter the search term pupils.

The dragoon officer here is one of the old samurai heads, I don't recall which one, but I think it works.

Well just use Bricklink and see what heads works for you best, also you can mix different coloured heads if you want to. Cant really give specifics as what works for you, might not work for somebody else. Taste differences

Thanks - Yeah, was just looking for tips on other heads w/ big sideburns or bushy mustaches. I think the samurai suggestion is a good one. I'm not a fan of the non-yellow heads, so I end up giving all of the tan/brown ones I get to my kids :)

I like to use the Johnny Thunder heads (3626bpa3) because they are usually very very cheap and easy to aquire on bricklink.

The monocle is not really accurate to the 18th/early 19th century.  They did not come into fashion until the 2nd half the 19th century (more an Age of Steam affectation than one for the Age of Sail).
