Got it! Thank you very much!

Btw, what is the ideal thickness for foamies?

I use 6 mm almost all around the inside of a male head, usually successfully. Also, when it is that thick, you can actually slice off some of its thickness, if needed.

Thanks! I'll try this method.

Guys, do you think these neck pegs will work on Rukawa's head? Which one do you guys think is the best option?


Peg #1


Peg #2

No. These adapters are designed to go at the flat bottom end of heads with integral necks. The body you're using already has a neck, and the head you are using is intended to have its adapter inside it (you can see examples in the tutorial I linked before) -- but with the modifications, foamies might be more practical and adaptable.

ohh okay, so even if I modify these connectors it might not work? But I also found a connector like the one in the tutorials, but it will be coming from China so it'll take a week or more. I was considering these connectors because it's here locally so it might just take 2-3 days to deliver.

The connector looks kinda wide to me, but of course I have no idea of the exact size. It's not a big deal when you have a bunch of connectors accumulated over time -- given enough patience going through them, eventually something would work out, perhaps with some slicing. But if you only had the one... Remember, the width and height of the connector (and how high the hole for the peg within it) all make a difference. That is why you are better off without looking for a connector in the first place.

Yeah, I know it might seem like a pain in the neck (forgive the pun, lol), but using the foam that GF recommends is probably the easiest route here. I can only speak for myself, but I tend to remove most neck connectors on neck-less headsculpts in general (and replace them with foam or whatever else works), because it makes it easier to use them with various different bodies.

Thanks for the help guys! I'm still going to do the foamie method, I'm just getting your opinions in case another head needs a connector hehe

I already ordered a big sheet of 6mm foam for the foamie method. I'll update you guys. Thanks again!
