hi all
Just got some hornet heads and was wondering what size bit to use.

Thanks in advance.

1/8" I believe. You may have to ream a bit with a knife to get the right fit.

Hi Tony,
Start with a drill bit slightly smaller than the neck of the head & then 'burr' out with a rotary tool to suit the head. This will give a better blend into the neck area of the figure, looking more natural.
