How to Use Changeout Heads
Changeout heads allow you to accurately match the head / body proportions of special or unusual sized mammals. Original head positions are easy with changeouts. After selecting the proper sized change-out head follow these steps.
|
Step 1: Note the position of the original head sculpted on the form. Saw the head off the form at the neck junction (save head for another mount).
|
|
Step 2: Saw the neck surface of the changeout head to match the form. Make sure the base of the changeout head has exposed "inner foam" for good adhesion. Scuff or ruff the surface of the inner neck as needed.
|
|
Step 3: Test position the changeout head. Once the position is correct, bondo the changeout head to the form.
|
|
Step 4: After the bondo has cured, model the head / neck junction to a smooth, natural union using clay, paper mache or other similar materials.

|
Step 5: You are now ready to proceed with the mounting process using your customized form.
