    i bought a good lot of jsa When they left yujin. I had 5 haramaki and a missile launcher raiden.
    Do you have any suggestion to convert them to look more like their " new" troop type?
    More than modelling the hat for haramaki i have no idea.

    I added extra shoulder and hip armour on mine.
    In a style reminiscent of old samurai armour.
    Oh, and gave the haramaki new heads (upholstery tacks).

    I never had any raiden.

    You replaced the whole head with a upholstery tack? That sounds interesting. Do you have any pictures?

    No, I drilled a hole into their heads and glued the tack (pin and all) into the hole.
    Then I textured a couple of the pin heads.

    Then added GS armour pads for a shoulder (left one) and both thighs.
    These are the hats I textured.

    These are the ones I just primed and painted.

    This pic shows the armour pauldron and leg armour on one of them.

    I didn't do anything like that. Since my old models were already painted, and each unit had it's own armor color, I merely painted the new units to match the old.

    Mine started life as a Domaru but sticking an umbrella on anyone's head basically makes them a Tanko.
