I've joked about doing head swaps in 10mm but never attempted it. Perhaps some people have?
What might be slightly easier would be to graft on not just a head, but a head-and-shoulders. If Pendraken could be persuaded to produce a range of generic busts, it might open up a lot of possibilities.

I think Nik is the expert on generic busts
but seriously some spare heads would be a useful little item
I've done transplants at the waist with fair results. Fussy job, however.
Ive recently converted an Argentine carrying a MAG with an Argentine head from the special forces,wooly hat.Very fiddly as i dropped the head at least 4 times and was lucky to locate it again.I used nail clippers which shot it off in a random direction. Gluing the head to the torso was tricky as well as i didnt pin it and super glue was watery.Learned some lessons and i suppose i can only get better ;) I got a small hot glue gun for xmas which im going to try which might let me manipilate the head before it sets.
knees and toes, knees and toes!
[Sorry, someone had to say it :D]
And eyes and ears and mouth and nose...... :D
Was thinking it was about shampoo

Mate, that's too funny :D
Generic lack of busts, judging by Keira. :P

Making a clean breast of it, are we?
I did (or tried) a few head swaps for my Doctor who sculpts. It's almost impossible to pin, my best advice is to make a neck with middling putty. Dampen the head and (using tweezers) press it onto the neck then take it out again. Once the putty is dry glue it into the neck.

Maybe try it for your doctor who paints, or the one who plays the dulcimer.

:D :D :D :D
Ditto. ;)
I expect a lot of doctors paint, even if it's only the decorating....But I bet there aren't many who play the dulcimer.....(Or would it be better to say "that play the dulcimer?")
Over to Thailand for today's English lesson. ;)

Nothing to worry about. It's just that according to FierceKitty, you've committed a capital crime.
Nah, nah. We just break their knees for little things like that.
Actually, I did meet a dulcimer-player recently. She was a vet, which is sort of medical.
I recon I must have a spelling/grammar mistake? Well, I would rather speak sense and wright rubbish than think rubbish a wright well. ???
Where is the code book?
@Vulpine: It's just that (a) Doctor who sculpts is different from Doctor Who sculpts. Pedantic? Yes. Amusing? Only if you're in the right mood.
@FierceKitty: Wouldn't it help more to break the fingers of those who type faster than they think? X_X
And I still think decapitation is appropriate for the hideous crime of decapitalisation. Something must be done, or before you know it they will forget to dot their i's and only chaos will reign.
Decapitate/decapitalise...there is a certain elegance about it, admittedly.
I'm loving this...the perfect antidote to the onset of 'manflu' (sic) as helpfully diagnosed by female colleagues today.

To which I would add the use of rogue apostrophes when writing plurals. Sadly, strict enforcement of the death penalty would de-populate the forum somewhat.
Also decimate my classes ten times simultaneously.
No - only if enforced for the double negative - "Aint done nufing Sir"

If my students give themselves the trouble of speaking four consecutive words of more-or-less English, it's a good day.

But it would give the opportunity to having a go again at guessing when the new member 1000 will join up. :D Or would that be the new member 100? :-\
Anyway, I don't know if I would be around to witness any of that.
Edit: It has only just occurred to me that the original title of this thread has taken on a new and sinister meaning. Entirely by coincidence, unless there was some subconscious force at work?

But are your students native-speakers, FK? I would forgive anyone with English as a second or third language.
I did a head swap for a command figure for my WOTR collection, turned out to be not too bad and hasn't fallen off yet Good for a king i suppose :P
all the best

I'm less tolerant. I measure my Thai students against others I've taught (Czechs are the best yet), and they measure up very poorly. I'd be more forgiving if they were any good at anything but
Angry Birds. But they've had a long time to learn, and they're still at a loss for a reply when you say "Good morning". In English IV, at that.

There's your mistake. You should be teaching Mandarin. :D
Careful. Many Chinese don't like that name for the language. The official name is something like putongua, meaning "most widely spoken". Though I was amused in a noodle-shop in Suzhou once to hear two Chinese communicating in terrible English, since they were from opposite ends of the country and couldn't understand each other's Chinese.
Same in Wales (apparently)...
Welsh speakers in the South of the country have problems understanding those in the North..and vice versa.
(Don't even bother Ian !) ;D ;D ;D ;D

Thought you had to have sever cold to even attempt Welsh......

You mean the 'phlegm' sound I assume Ian. ;D ;D ;D

I once overheard a German guy chatting up a Greek girl on a bus in Crete in their common language - English.
