Quick Tip #3 - Head Swap Dremel Style

Or...How To Perform A Head Transplant When You Have Two Identical Pewter Dudes

All you need is a pair of clippers, a hobby knife, and a Dremel.









Step One - Off With His Head: First let me tell you that it is a good idea to have two sets of clippers, one for pewter and one for plastic. (Using clippers on pewter gouges the blades, leaving unattractive tool marking on your plastic.) When cutting, place one blade of the clipper under the chin and the other behind his head. SNIP!

Step Two - Clean Up the Neck Cavity: Once you've beheaded the poor Sergent, its time to tidy up for Dremeling. Clip off the chin (or any other easily removable section) and file down the top, nice and flat.

WARNING: the drimmel bit will occasionally jump off the area that you are filing down so make sure to wear gloves!!!

Step Three- It's Carving Time: Use the larger Dremel bit that comes with the basic kit (shown left.) Place the model on his side, as below, keep a firm grip on the Dremel (speed 8) and start widening and deepening that bad boy like you're prepping birds for turducken.








Step Four- Head Transplant: Once your done Dremeling, clean up any extra flash with a hobby knife and glue on the new head. Add some different weapons and change the direction of the head to further differentiate between the two models.










Happy beheading! (for the Emperor of course.)
