Ottoman Commander or first head-swap experience! - part1
I was very pleased with "Peter Pig" Ottomans/Egyptians. I love their sculpts and variety of poses, but lack of regular cavalry and mounted commanders upsets me. So I decided to make my first head-swap ever! I was worried a bit, but procedure appears to be quite easy, so I made step-by step guide. In this guide I show you all steps of creating a mounted Ottoman army commander.
Firstly you need to buy a pack called "67. Mounted Brit cavalry sergeants" and take the guy on the left of the photo. Horses are provided separately in four poses, so you can choose the horse for your future army commander.

Then you need to use very sharp modeling knife to cut his head off. Its not very difficult procedure and metal is very soft and easy to cut.
Then you need Ottoman head from pack called "24. Fez Egyptians" of this range
Then just use superglue to glue the head to the body of rider. You can use greenstuff to fill some gaps.
