robert downey Jr head sculpt

Hi everyone
im currently trying to make a custom tony stark
i just have a quick question.
how would i make this sculpt fit onto the mech test body? (i dont yet have the mech test body to look at it, thats why i ask:
https://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300446309380
also do you know if those sculpts from that company ^ are any good?
how would i go about painting it?
thanks again

that would take some major modding to get it to fit. Also if you have no experience painting then I would think a little more about this.

That head you are planning on buying would not fit into the mech test body unless you sand off the head's neck, here's the mech test body headless:

You'll need to sand and make a hole in the head so the peg would fit in.

Now if you go ahead and buy the head, here's a good way to make the head fit into the peg (with the neck sanded down that is):

ok well if it requires that much work then it probably is not worth it
would the mark 3 tony stark head work ?

Also, just for future reference, diver4 is a notorious recaster of custom sculptors' works. None of the sculpts he sells are his own original work. That RDJ was sculpted by Ada Chan who sells her own works on eBay and through her own website.

At least get your people right, That us not Ada's sculpt, As much as I hate to say the words, it is Chris H 's

yeah Plus the head is kind of big I got one..it kind of looks like a bobblehead doll on a 1/6.

That's actually a recast of the C Howes sculpt...there's a joke in there somewhere, but nevermind...anyway, if you were to purchase that head, you'd find it a tad large for a Hot Toys body anyway.

As for the company behind the auction, diver4 sells nothing but recasts. He is stealing from many sculptors who have made original heads, including some who have posted here.
