				<title>Techmarine Head swap question.</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ Greetings! So I just get my Techmarine in full resin and the head is forged with the body, I wanted to ask if anyone has experience with swapping the heads of models like this, especially if I try and swap it for a Blood Angel upgrade pack Helmet.<br /> Any help is appreciated!]]></description>

				<title>Techmarine Head swap question.</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ I’ve not done a head swap on that model.<br /> <br /> One thing to consider is how much of a “swap” do you want.  If you just want a new head on a model, and don’t care what happens to the old one, heads are pretty simple to work.  Just clip, cut, and carve until the new head fits.<br /> <br /> If you want to salvage the old one, things get a lot harder.]]></description>

It just seams like the helmet might not fit in the model as its deeper and wider, will I have to cut into other areas that is not the very head it self?]]></description>

				<title>Techmarine Head swap question.</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ The <a href="https://www.games-workshop.com/en-GB/Space-Marine-Techmarine-with-Servitors" target="_new" rel="nofollow">techmarine which comes with servitors</a> is pretty flat around the helmet area, so you might even be able to salvage the original one if you're very careful.  Finecast cuts pretty easily with a standard craft knife, but watch your fingers (a rocking motion along the length of the blade will work more safely than strong pressure on the blade).<br /> <br /> If it's <a href="https://www.games-workshop.com/en-GB/Space-Marine-Techmarine" target="_new" rel="nofollow">the one with a bare/bionic head</a>, I doubt that head can be salvaged.  You'd need to hollow out where his head is to preserve that raised collar, which may or may not be big enough for a helmet.  If not, you could trim the sides of the collar down level with the front, which may give enough space for a helmet.  Don't forget to hollow out a space for the neck (a 3mm drill or some very careful dremmel work would do well).]]></description>

Yes thanks, in my ignorance I might have just sniped the loose head's neck and stuck it on there :S.<br /> I guess I'll just try my best at removing the head! Wish me luck!]]></description>

				<title>Techmarine Head swap question.</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ As mentioned, it really depends of you want to preserve the head or not. If you don't, just snip it off then use a drillbit, I think around 2 or 2.5mm, to drill an indent for the new neckjoint, or use a dremel to just blend it out. <br /> <br /> If you do can, I would suggest using a knife to score around the head, going at an angle so you're basically cutting an inverted pyramid or cone. It will take a long time. ]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ Update if anyone is interested: I barley harvested the head (you never know when you'll need another head), after some cutting a drilling I got the head in a decent enough position trying to match the helmet grill to where the mouth use to be.<br /> Thanks for all the help guys!]]></description>
