    Modifying CTVT Heads?

    Hi all

    Has any one modified a CTVT Head, like sculpting additions on to one? If so I was wondering what works the best?

    Thanks

    It I were going to do it, I'd cast the head in resin, use sculpey, bake, and recast a new finished resin piece.

    Vinyl heads with things added tend to be pretty fragile, especially CTVT heads which are softer than Mego heads to begin with, so working with a resiin version is a lot easier for me and much stronger.

      AMEN, Brother! If you absolutely HAVE to modify a vynil head, use epoxy putty to make the parts, and when it hardens and drops off glue it back on with superglue. Trim, file and paint.
