Blowtorch's head

Got a tip to share? Have a question about the hobby? Need input on parts or weapons? Have great idea for a custom figure or vehicle? Too lazy to do it, or just want to share the idea with others? All that and more goes in here.

how do you work with this thing? You put him on other dudes and he looks like a chicken or something.

Sense makes this doesn't. Please elaborate.

I believe he means how long his neck is.

and a neckectomy tends to work wonders.

alright well i'm gonna have to ask you to elaborate on neckatomaty if you could?

by ZombieGuide

If you're referring to the length of his neck, yes I agree its useless. For some reason they made the area where the head sits waaaay too long and compensated with a long neck. If you REALLY wanna create a freak custom, put Blowtorchs head on a Hiss Driver torso. I did that when I was about 10 years old and the thought still scares me.

sanding, sawing, cutting, or modding the part to become useful...

yeah, i put him on a ripcord and he was okay on that, but otherwise...


and i get the feeling no other heads will work on his body, the zap i have on there looks weird and the duke looked like it would of been cool but it just wouldn't fit, and i sanded.

yeah i sanded but your still gonna need the knob thing at the bottom so the lengths gonna be pretty much the same, right? I've seen you guys do some crazy "LASER BLAST" on the customs so you guys could probably pull it off.

The wonderful thing about post head figures is you can cut bits off of the neck and all you need is a screw with a wide head to act as the nob to the head in place.

Use a Razor Saw to shorten up the neck as needed...drill a hole, add the screw adn the head will work as well as can be wanted.

If you need to add length to the neck its a bit more difficult and would prolly be best done by finding a length of Styrene rod thats the correct diameter to match the bottom of the neck.... Cut off the bottom of the neck and nob...add a section of the styrene rod...drill a hole through the nob, rod and into the head...peg and glue as needed

okay the shortening part i could maybe pull off. The lengthening, sounds like a disaster waiting to happen. Cool, thanks.
