Here's a couple pictures of what my Japanese Collection looked like I tried lightening the pictures but they still came out dark so if you have the Photoshop Program you can lighten them or even make them clearer. FYI the Japanese display heads you see in the pictures, in the beginning, were plain white styrofoam wig heads that had slanted eyes and that you'd find at a garage sale and a collector friend of mine whos name is Dave Holly from Oregon, at the time, years ago, air brushed them and they came out looking Japanese and made a great looking and inexpensive Japanese display head for my Japanese Infantry Helmets and my Japanese Navy Flight Helmets.

Mike, very nice stuff, never considered airbrushing the 'noggins' for a more realistic look. Learn something new every day. Thanks for sharing. Trey

I didn't pay to much for that old Arisaka, I just bought it a little bit too soon!

Trey, thanks for the compliment and I'm sure there's still alot of the styrofoam wigs heads out there for sale for usually a dollar or less. Mike
