How to shrink a 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.

Any of you guys know how to shrink heads to GI Joe scale? Are there any tutorials?

Thanks.

Easy:

Step 1: Send it to JFAK
Step 2: Done.

Seriously tho; one doesn't shrink the head itself. One makes a mold of it, uses HydroShrink to make a cast of that large mold. The HydroShrink then dries out and shrinks, then you make a mold of it at the proper 18th scale size. Then you make a proper hardcast from that second mold. It's *very* involved and *very* tricky to accomplish on top of all the regular problems with regular casting and molding; so JFAK deserves every bit of praise he gets for doing it properly.
