Modifying 1/6th heads

[odellwyoung34]

Need help with some of the sculpted heads that i have. I need them modified to fit on the T-800 body. I have the Loading Toys Rock sculpt and it won't fit without some modifying to it. Anyone know who can help out with that?

You need a bigger hole to fit into the T-800 body ?. You'll need to find a drill bit the size (or larger) than the T800 neck peg and start working on the sculpts cavity. It sounds very simple, but in fact it is.

Anyhow, are you looking for someone to help you with these ?, You save on costs if you DIY.

I would use a dremel for more control.. With a large drill bit, one slip and that head is toast.

 

[Cheungkinmen]

Yeah that too, I was thinking on a drill bench, you got more control over that one. A dremel is the answer, unless you feel confident to go with a larger bit.

anyone know how to make a sculpt with a neck into a neckless version. any simple guides?

 

[Cheungkinmen]

I've been looking for a guide online for you, it seems there are non.

Anyways, it's a simple task if you are handy with the tools. You'll need a Hacksaw to chop the neck off, cut as close to the base of the skull/jaw as possible, and with a dremel and sanding bits, remove all unwanted plastic or resin. There is no steps to this, you'll have to mod this to fit your specific body type.

If you are modding a resin sculpt, you'll need to drill a hole for the neck peg, you can do this also with the dremel and a drilling bit.

This is the way I do it. Again, it sounds easy if you are handy with tools.

No guides, just a nice grinding bit (looks like a round sandpaper drum) on a Dremel, and some delicate removal and shaping. I've removed many necks from sculpts to fit on sculpted neck bodies. A good rule of thumb is to remove it all the way up to the jaw and hair level and then just hollow it out until it fits.

Less is more. Less is more. Less is more. And done.
