After I did my Cannonball custom, someone was asking how I did the head, since the original Cannonball head I used had the neck attached.
Here's an attempt to show my method using a BBi head (similar, has a neck) for my Resolute Mercer Custom: First I use my hobby knife to cut away the majority of the neck, keeping careful not to scar the chin I use a grinding wheel to sand down the rest so that all I'm left with is the head which stops at the base of the skull. Then I use a proper size bit (11/64" I believe) to drill. Here I'm showing a vise but in reality I just hold the head. You need to pulse the drill to keep from going too far. |

I usually fit the head to the new ball neck as I'm going along,
to check fit. Sometimes (as in this case) I needed to add some hot glue to the hole so that it stays on better. Finished work: (painted up the skin tone on both body and head to match) |
