Has anyone ever used the 120mm Live-Resin ACH heads with cheek chops as a replacement head for their 120mm figures? Does the head and neck fit well with 120mm figures? And if you did, which figure did you use the Live-Resin head on?

I'm wondering if the Live-Resin head's scale is compatible or if the Live-Resin's head is too big or small for 120mm resin figures.

Thanks in advance.

Hold on Peter, I need one for a project; I'll grab it and let you know. As I only need the one, you're welcome to the other (they are sold in pairs), if you're interested.

I'm going for the helmet with cover, if it makes a difference.

And yes, it is to go on my assault gunner from Ant Miniatures.

Peter,

I have both of their 1/16th scale head sets and they are nicely done. Of course, most of their faces are covered, so there is not much in the way of facial expressions. The glasses, headsets and chinstraps are neatly done, and the helmets are excellent.

I have not used them yet, but am planning to use them to update some of the Airborne Miniatures figures. They compare very favorably scale-wise to the Airborne kits,

My only complaint about these heads is that the necks are rather large and will need a good bit of trimming to fit into the neck sockets on most figures.

I hope that some of this was helpful to you.

Hi Kurt,

Thanks! Yes, it's the neck width that I am concerned about. Even with the 1/35 Live-Resin heads, the necks are often too large to fit on other manufacturers' figures' neck sockets.

I agree that one could sand down the base of the Live-Resin neck to fit, but where does it get to the point that sanding down the neck too much would make it appear odd looking?

Do you think it's still possible with the 120mm Live-Resin necks to get them to fit?

Yes, I believe that they can be carved down to size with a little patience. I would avoid trying to do that much sanding due to the dust it would create. I'd recommend carving them down using an x-acto knife or something similar.
