    If you cast custom parts please look !

    If you can make molds you can make ANY head for a MEGO.

    Please watch these videos.

    An easy shrinking resin, any easy enlarging resin, and a easy melt pourable %100 reusable clay. It has no smell, no mess ! Best, most versitile clay I have ever used, oil or water based!
    I've switched facial features on some of my sculptures. Imagine teh applications.

    I found these products for my artwork. I am doing an experiment in all teh size variations with one of my sculptures.
    I hope to enlarge, shrink, and sculpt-alter a GI Joe head as a further experiment soon.

    When it gets done I'll try and post shrunken and enlarged heads. AND resculpted ones.

    I just wanted to share this. I'm really too busy to do this for my hobby, but I'd love to see 12" MEGO Zod, Luthor and Klingon shrunk.
    EDIT: Okay , the truth is I don't have any of the 12" heads and I can't afford them. I would LOVE to borrow heads and send it back after teh inital mold. in silicone, I really dont see a problem harming the head. ( We are on a small budget here and my money all goes to art supplies.)

    When I use my imagination I get overwhelmed. Now you can shrink down Sideshow Apes weapons! Or enlarge 3 3/4 Megos, DC Universe, etc:

    I'm really excited about this stuff and wanted to share to see what you folks come up with !

    PLEASE try it out it's not expensive and a little goes a long way.
    ( yes I have a life cast of myself from an old job and I plan to shrink it!)

    * if youre into life size props imagine: a life size Cobra Commander gun, a POTA pistol, any Playmates or Kenner accessory at life size.
    My first major thing I plan to try is a life size Mego 8" phaser. (if I can afford that much resin and silicone)

      I know how to make them but don't have much of a Mego collection. What do you want done? Post or PM me

      Personally I really do want to do the SCI Fi lines.

      There are some new Megos out I can't afford ( ming, Barnabus, Manta) I would work for trade .

      However please let me do the series of Joe head tests and continue to B-E-G my wife to learn how to upload and post pictures. I cant even attach a wedding photo to an email without the computer freezing up.
      She brought a MAC into my home. I feel like I switched religions when I got married.
