Just like everyone else, I want to make some Red Shadows with the new Marauder red German.
I see AVACslab and Raginspoon have heads, but I have absolutely no experience with custom casts. Are these usable as is, or do I have to modify them in some way to fit the body? Thanks for any input and sorry for my ignorance.

Instead of cast heads, you might want to use the Marauders “breather” heads and the helmets that came with the figures.

If the Afrika Corps Officer had been funded, his mask (in red) looks like it would have been ideal.

The cast heads may need to be altered, as you might have to adjust the peghole width and height to properly sit on a marauder neckpost.

I can't remember if I grabbed my RS headsfrom Raginspoon or AVACs, but I was able to pop them on the MTF Red German bodies without any modification at all. Obviously I had to paint the eyes, but that's it.

Thanks for the info, that is exactly what I hope to do. The Raginspoon head is shown on a MTF figure (not a red German), so I'm leaning toward that one.

That is a good idea, I didn't think to contact the caster directly.
