This is a follow up tutorial, so scroll down to find the first installment.
Always be on the look out for three headed dragons at dollar stores, it's a cheap way to get lots of heads to use. I've used this same dragon to make the "Gobbler" figures and yes, you'll have to explore the blog to find that tutorial as well. It's fun and there's lots to see.
1) Eyeball where you need to cut the head off of the dragon, use the small saw on the leatherman or a pair of scissors (the toys are hollow) and if you're just a little dude, ask your parents to do it for you.
2)If you look at the other tutorial you'll see that I used glue to place a small dowel inside the body of the monster this is to have something firm for the head to fit onto. Fill the head with glue and attach, adjust the head to the position you like and then leave it to dry.
3)Once the head is dry you can use this easy method (I'm sure serious modders will laugh at me, but I don't care, this blog is for people who want to try something new). Get some tissues cut off a 2.5 or so inch piece and coat the piece with wood glue. Wrap the piece around the neck of the beastie and then use a damp paintbrush to smooth it into place. Once the first coat is dry add some more woodglue to the tissue to firm it up.
4) When it's dry it's ready to basecoat!
there you go.
