    I do have the sideshow Corny head too, but haven't got round to doing it much for the same reason as Dave. Although, you can't have too many Apes!

        Come on guys! shrink them monkey heads!! I've got the enlarged Medicom heads but will still get the Side Shows, if nothing else to have a few diff. chimps hanging around. It would make a really cool display.

            I forgot about those, the Medicom apes were really nice too. Just curious, is it any more difficult shrinking a head compared to enlarging one (or visa versa) or is it about the same? (I have no clue about either process)

              I've not enlarged, but you can take a peak at the tutorials in customego and see each process and compare. With enlarging, I know I end up with three molds, so it's not really hard, just material and time consuming. A mold for the original, a mold for the new shrink, which then has to have a neck plug added and any modifications done, then a new master mold.
