Subject: Head swap for plastic Guilliman?

I am toying with the idea of converting the plastic Guilliman, and one of the elements I want to replace is his head. Obviously can't use the unhelmeted one, and I don't really like the oldskool helmet either.
How much larger is his head than the head of currently available minis? What options are there for a head swap, if any? I looked online, but can't find anything that would properly clue me in. And I don't want to buy a sixty dollar mini just to discover that I can't do what I want with it...

Take the second Guiliman Head and cut of the Pin and Neck...keep that piece. Then take a primaris marine helmet (i took the helmet option from the primaris scriptor) and cut the neck from the helmet...and transfer the neck part from Guilimans head to the primaris helmet...glue it and you have a perfect primarch helmet...
I did this and cut the laurels also from i think it was a Banner top and add it to the helmet and was ready to go...

Wait.. Bobby Gs head is actually the same size as a standard marine?

These are my opinions. This is how I feel. Others may feel differently. This needs to be stated for some reason.

Can we have a pic? I always figured Guilliman's head would be much bigger than a normal Marine's.

Yeah, I'd be curious to see a pic of this.
What I'd really like to see is a pic where someone has swapped the helmetless head with a helmetless guard head. That would be awesome.

Scriptor = Librarian, right? (always thought that the German name for this unit was much better).
That is a VERY clever idea because the Librarian helmet is noticeably bigger than other Primaris helmets. I would also love to see a picture.

You could also get one of the foreword primarch heads from eBay and use that .
