Hi
i,ve just bought my first resin heads(hornet) to attach to some plastic figures(dragon). but am usure how to remove them from there small pedistalles . ? I have a small tamiya craft saw . will this do the job without damaging them or is there a more delicate method ??

The craft saw will do it. When attaching the heads to the figures the best method I find is to drill a hole and insert the head to the proper depth. Be careful to avoid the giraffe neck look. Better to drill too deep and then pack the hole with putty.

I agree with what Pat said about attachment. You get a much firmer fit, plus it eliminates the problem of the head position going out of kilter if you try to shorten the neck by cutting it but don't get the angle of cut quite right in the process (in my experience, the necks of Hornet heads are invariably too long to be used "as is").

Thanks . I just took your advise and went ahead and did 4 heads . perfect fit .. Look much better than the original ones

As said, drilling holes in the neck is the best way to do this IMO. It even allows to rotate the head slightly as well as alter the elevation ... give a little more dynamic to the pose.
