How often have you deepened a head cavity in this manner and is there a danger that the head will end up loose on other figures?

deepening the cavity is one thing, widening the cavity is another issue all together. As long as you keep the hole the same size and slowly extend the cavity into the upper cranium it will alaways fit the origianl neck ball, just lower. If your not careful and widen the hole during the process..then you increase the likleyhood of making it more loose for the original body and potenaitlly others. If the head is loose on other bodies before surgery, then that will be the case after performing cranial neck cavity extension.

Thanks for the tip! I'm going to try this on an extra Flint head from the Flint in Cobra disguise figure before I try this on Shippy I think.

If your going for the traditional upgraded look off hs original character it was brown strap...kinda of a mash up between the 2 ideas as one harness went accross his chest and one harness over the one the right shoulder.
What guns you guys using for yours? I gave mine a modular Eotech M4 from Maraaders. Haven't thought much about the gun, myself. I still need to land the figure!!! :(

[QUOTE=ceraurus;3608593]Finally figured it out--it comes from Renegades Tunnel Rat. And yes, it is like the ones we've seen on a few SE's. It doesn't have the buckles like the ones that come with Zap or DG Duke.
Ah, TR! Thanks.

Hot glue can work, and sometimes I use green stuff. The simple solution, though, is to use the little pads that keep the upper legs tighter on the t bar.
