Hey Greg,

Actually my caster makes the holes for the neck during the casting process and there's no drilling involved. Therefore, I wouldn't be able to help dremmel anything either My friend in Cali is the one shipping them out and I'm pretty sure he doesn't have a dremmel haha.

If I remember correctly (on the Die Hard 1 thread), People actually didn't dremel the actual head because the socket fit the Hot Toys neck post. I think most people had to do a little customizing to the plastic part inside the rubber neck, to make the neck smaller? Sebastian (Elvis1976) suggested this I believe.

Hope this helps

Daniel

Thanks, Daniel.

The first post in your link, Elvis actually does say he had to dremmel the inside of the head also because the hole was too small. So I guess it's up to us.

I better start to learn how to dremmel.

It is fairly easy. Get one of the grinding stones that usually comes with a dremel kit (anyone will do) And starting in the centre of the neck hole slowly dremel to the outer edges making sure to blow out the hole and test fit often. Go slow and check your work often.

Will do, thanks for the tip.

You don't need to take out a lot. Just enough to get the head to sit a little lower on the Comedian/Wolverine/Dastan/Royce body. But you do have to pull the plastic pin out of the neck and make it a little thinner too. I was a little nervous about the amount of work I had to do to get the head to fit the body but it only took me 15 or 20 mins from start to finish and that was mostly test fitting and thinking out my next step.

So let me understand, it is necessary to widen the ball socket in the head for the barbell thing -- but how does that actually lower the head on the neck? I thought the head needed deeper dremeling up inside the head... is that incorrect?

I appreciate the feedback, I've been somewhat confused about this whole thing as I don't have the head in hand yet.

You need to make the hole in the head a little deeper in order to let it sit down on the neck. Just widen to base of the hole. you don't need to go too deep. You also need to make the barbell from the body narrower so the neck will squeeze in a little to allow the head to fit on.

OK, I think I understand. I thought we were taking about the actual barbell ball nub thing but it seems you mean the neck adapter that I'm supposed to remove and sand down thinner to slim the neck itself.

I'll know better when I have the darn thing.

Thanks for all the tips. It's very helpful.

Re: "No f*&%ing s#*# lady! Do I sound like I'm ordering a f*&%ing pizza?"

Yeah. It's pretty straight forward once you are looking at it. It is a translucent plastic post with a ball on each end. You pull it out of the neck and shave down the shaft portion leaving the balls untouched. Then when you put it back it allows the rubber neck to compress enough to let the head sit on the neck. Then it is just a matter of widening the hole in the head to let it sit down the required amount on the neck to avoid the dreaded giraffe syndrome.

Have started painting the head, really is nice, pics don't do it justice, thanks

Have you modded the neck yet?

Love to see pics of the body all ready to rock.

Re: "No f*&%ing s#*# lady! Do I sound like I'm ordering a f*&%ing pizza?"

Not yet. I am waiting until the head comes before I attempt that.

On my day off from school I popped in die hard and did the weathering to the tank top as it happened in the movie. I think it turned out great. I'll take the pics when I get home hopefully.
