Something bugs me about Helen of Troy, espically in the modern Era. Why is she wearing a suit? Don't you have any dresses or whatnot she could wear? As the woman with 'The Face that could turn 1000 ships', I think she'd be a bit more.. femine? And why are there ruins in the background? You might want to put Skyline picture or a Generic office picture. The rest are great, however.
And Sououner Truth was a leader on the Undeground Railroad. Maybe in the Industrial Era she could be is somewhat ragged clothes?

Helen of Troy - in the modern era she's meant to be an Archeologist visiting the ruins of Troy. The suit is down to personal taste...I keep saying though that she could be a good generic European (maybe Scandinavian) leaderhead; perhaps when I get in from work tonight, I'll revamp her and show some previews so that people can comment.
Great idea for the Industrial Era Sojourner Truth - I'll give that a go.
It looks like the Asian woman is getting more votes than the others; does she look like someone who could represent Polynesia? I'd like to get them into play, using the Hokulea as a UU.

I vote for the Asian woman, and I would use her to replace the Japanese leaderhead. Queen Liliuokalani has already been done for the Polynesians.
She has been, but Queen Liliuokalani is Hawaiian; there's nothing to stop me from doing another Polynesian one for my mod.

Malcolm II (Scotland, in progress)
The first draft of Malcolm II. This could be in either the industrial or modern era.
Great
I'm so glad someone is making a leaderhead of Scotland's greatest ever king. There are, unfortunately, no images of the man that I can get hold of (as with Antigonus Monophthalmus); perhaps he could look a tad more barbaric (some stubble or facial hair), with Celtic red rather than Scandinavian blonde features.
But I'm not complaining. It'll be great to see the final version.
Calgacus, thanks for your comments .
I've seen a picture of Malcolm II before; he had thicker and straighter hair than I've given this first draft; it was about shoulder length. The chin was small, and the nose fairly long; there was no facial hair on it at all. Chances are, though, that this picture was a modern artist's impression of what Malcolm might have looked like rather than an artist in Malcolm's day.
Personally, I think your description sounds more accurate and I'll see what I can do
. I've chosen him based on one of your mods, and knowing it's a leaderhead you'd like 
.
There is an update of Helen of Troy. I've increased the head size by 10% and shown her as Anna of Denmark - same leaderhead, different theme. Please let me know if this would be a better use of this leaderhead than as Helen of Troy. There's more Danes play Civ 3 than Trojans, so you never know, she might change nationality

Why'd you choose Sojouner Truth for a Swahili civ then 
? Hmm... wouldn't use it if there wasn't a historical leader... fortunately I seem to remember there being a warrior queen in South Africa... possibly Swahili.

1. Love the name....Sojourner Truth
2. She was of Swahili descent; what she accomplished in her lifetime, I'm very impressed with. She might not have been a queen or ruler, but achieved so much more than a lot of traditional queens/rulers.
3. In summary then, I like her - there's got to be one leaderhead in there that I want - a lot of others are there by request

True enough. You'll get no complaints from me. The more leaderheads the merrier.
I just hope you'll finish the Israeli one soon.

The final leaderhead is now up to you. There's the pirate, who could represent the Medieval/Industrial Sea People to the left; a generic Asian lady in the middle, and Robert Menzies of Australia on the right. Which one do you want me to do?
By the way, all of these are first drafts - I'll work on the one that's chosen and save the others for later projects.
Man, if you could do the Menzies leaderhead, I'd have to sing your praises forever!!
Ok, nearly forever. For a while, anyway. I'd be immensely grateful. Cheers

I was thinking. The Aussie would be good, since there aren't any that I'm aware of. And several World power scenarios have Australia with a someone else leading them. 
I couldn't make up my mind, but I think the Aussie is getting my vote now.
EDIT: Australia is in my personal mod and I'm using the Portugese leaderhead which doesn't fit.

For those options Australia would be the best, but I would still prefer Napoleon! He has been requested many times here, you know. And Joan sucks.
Vote results
I will be doing both the Asian lady and the Robert Menzies leaderheads as era-specific for the mod.
The pirate leaderhead will not be part of this mod, but I have done a single-era, 3D leaderhead with pcxs and posted it here
Previews:
Would people please be kind enough to give me some indication as to whether the Helen of Troy leaderhead should stay as it is or change to Anna of Denmark?
Helen of Troy......................Anna of Denmark
Who is the Asian lady going to be? I'd really like to have a Polynesian queen myself.....what are your thoughts?

I like the new Helen. I, personally, would leave her as Troy, as there are not as many Mediterranian Civs as there are European.
about Helen
personally, I liek the new modern/industrial leader head alot more, though I honestlly think she would do better as Queen Tueta, of the Illyrians- or even Queen Zenobia of Palmyra- why? because both these civs are Med civs that can use a female leader head, and in the caseof Illyria/modern nation occuping the area, it is the one place in wurope that dosent have a civ starting in it
about the pirate
if you need any insperation for the ancient graphic, do not hesitate to ask

I like the idea of using the leaderhead as Queen Tueta. If I did that, I wouldn't mind having a list of some cities. The ones I think are Illyrian are: Amantia, Apollonia, Mavrova, Bylis, Buthrot and Phoinike; but that's only six cities and I could do with as many more as possible.
Any ideas on what the Illyrians would use as a UU?
The pirate won't be era-specific, at least at the moment. He's out of the mod, and starring as a single era leaderhead in his own right .

.well, as for Illryia, I think i have a few maps that will help, but unless we wisdh to get into medieval-modern era cities as well, it wont be extreamlyl large
as for the UU, a type of light infantry, ala peltast style would be good- basically the hoplite shield (for southern Illyrians, northern illyrians used a smaller one), a hlmet, similer to the hoplites, but the entire face is showing- this site illustrates the Illyrians well http://www.ne.jp/asahi/luke/ueda-sarson/Illyrians.html

I like the Zenobia suggestion - it'd be a twist for the middle eastern civs.
BUT... Dinga Cisse is the leaderhead I'm looking forward to most - I'd think your medieval one would be turbaned and perhaps bearded (kind of a standard Sudan look it seems). If you're still looking for ideas this is an industrial era pic (it's actually Samory Toure) that'd be a different look
