After messing around with my Stormtrooper for a couple days I realized that a Luke Skywalker Stormtrooper could still be a long way off. I started to panic... I freaked!!! I grabbed my dremmel and got to grinding. I bored the neck hole on the Luke Skywalker head to fit the Stormtrooper peg. I covered the ball joint in baby powder and blew the excess off then filled Luke's head with hot glue. I pressed them together and within minutes I had a tight functional custom ball joint... Good as bought.

Very nice. Is it possible to make the Stormtrooper head hollow so it can slip over the Luke head or is it too small?

From everything I've seen... too small. I actually took to dremmelling one out last night but hit a wall when I realized that no matter what I did there is just not enough space.

I have an old Epic 6" trooper head from an abandoned custom I may try it out ans see it if fits. last resort would be to resculpt a new back side of the head so he could acutally fit but I just had a short eye spasm thinking of how that could go wrong... Hate to waste materials on worthwhile projects.

That's a shame. It doesn't really hurt the custom but the feature would've been nice.

Right? Thanks. Yeah I've tossed around the idea of making the head smaller by disecting it and then resculpting the back of the head. The width of the head is not as troublesome as the depth from the nose to the back of the head. But keep in mind it still has to fit on that ball joint which is HUGE!!!

But I'm a doodler and a dabbler. It may happen soon enough.

I was wondering why these hadn't hit shelves yet.
