I'm helping to pin/build my son's Calgar figure and I can't for the life of me get his fat head into the niche provided in the armor. I've filed and clipped everything I can without altering the head, but to no avail. It's just too tall and the hose coming out to the side sticks out too much.

Any thoughts?

Stick a plastic terminator head in. its what i did... As the biggest meanest eternal warrior, 4 wounded, and well armoured chapter master, wouldnt take his helmet off in a warzone to shout at people! lol

If the model is warped, and wont fit together properly you could always contact GW and ask for a new one?

They are nice like that!

Not sure how a massive chunk of lead (tin) gets warped... but that's an option I'll consider. I'm also thinking about a new head... think the one that it came with is pretty dopey looking anyway.

Not that it's pertinent, but I found an old Calgar figure in my junk box last night from 1994. Anyone know how rare those are?

Not terribly. I see them going for under 10 bucks on eBay all the time.

I think Calgar's head only fits in his body in a very certain way, if I recall correctly from building mine anyway. I was pretty limited in how I could pose his head. Or you could take the high road and give him a Catachan head

They get warped in molding, the molds are rubber and flex. I would go with a termi head or a plastic one from the tank sprue so it is easier to shape to fit.

Got it. Thanks everyone!
