About product

Resin heads of American soldiers 1:35

Replacement heads for figures of the American army of the Second World War, cast in polyurethane resin. Changing the head is the quickest way to give a mass-produced plastic figure an expression of its own. The face draws the viewer's eye sooner than anything else in a whole scene.

Faces from the front

American units fought from Tunisia through Italy and Normandy all the way to the Elbe, and their appearance differed according to where they served: a net or a cover over the M1 helmet, a knitted cap under it, a leather helmet on the crews of armored vehicles. Different types of heads make it possible to put together a squad in which no two soldiers resemble each other, and it is exactly that which lifts a scene away from the contents of the box. A small change gives a scene a different charge at once.

How to change a head

Cut the original head off with a saw at the level of the collar and carefully widen the opening in the torso with a drill bit or a ball burr. Free the new part from the casting block and sand the surface so that the head sits at a natural angle. Tilting or turning it does more for the final impression than any small detail. Cyanoacrylate glue takes care of the bond; level the gap at the neck with putty. Paint the skin over a light base, otherwise the resin shows through.

Intended for

  • modelers building figure scenes of their own
  • painters who want to practice skin tones
  • repairs to figures with a damaged or expressionless head

In the package you will find only the castings of the heads; you have to have the torsos from elsewhere.

FAQ

The manufacturer does not state the exact number in the available sources, so it is not stated here. It is a set of several castings intended for changing a few figures.

As a rule yes, 1:35 scale is settled where figures are concerned. The neck usually has to be adjusted with a drill bit or a file, though, so that the head seats without a gap.

First apply a light base, which covers the translucency of the material. Then build the shade up in thin layers and fine-tune the shadows with a glaze.
