First I am going to do a head swap but this is not just any old head swap. The model is pewter and the head is made down into the chest of the model. I tried filing the head off with a Dremel tool but I just couldn't get the angles right. I thought about trying a saber saw but figured I would run into the same problems there. I found my solution in a jewelers saw.
Since a jewelers saw has a real thin blade I was able to work it along the curvature of the armor behind the head. As you can see from the end results it did a very nice job.
The next installment will detail how I hollowed out an area for the new head.
