Extending Neck Joints?

[SR_501]

I just got back into customs, and I have ran into a problem. I have the perfect torso I want to use but, the Neck needs to be extended so the Head looks normal. Instead of being neckless.

Any help would be awesome!

-Cut off the "ball"
-drill hole in neck
-insert screw
-drill corresponding hole into ball
-cut head off screw once desired height is achived
-screw ball onto screw
-repair neck with epoxy putty

That's actually great advice. I'll have to try that.

Or find a fig with a better neck, and just swap the two.

- put olive oil/vegetable on neck ball

- fill hole in head with hot glue

- while glue is still molting hot, place on neck ball and hold in desired position/height until glue sets (couple minutes)

- then let dry five minutes or so...pop head off and trim glue that oozed out...wipe oil off neck ball on figure...

- done...if you ever want the head to go back to original, scrape dried glue out of head

The hot glue is a great idea if you're lazy like me and don't want to perform surgery on your figures.

I have some of those moldable thermoplastic beads - I might give them a go as well.

I think the hot glue works best as something that you may want to return to normal one day...it's also perfect for heads with too big a hole in them
