    tiny bit of milliput, stick it in and move it about (oo-er) to make sure it has a full range of movement but a stiffer (oo-er) range of motion.
    Inuendo aside, this worked for me.

    Alright, sounds good. Can I pick it up at Micheal's?

    Also, did you do any smoothing on the head? I got mine casted in white and it's a bit rough looking on the surface, I'm hoping painting it will help alleviate some of that.

    For those who requested it, this is the link to the Calloway Customs store. Once again, I recommend the extra $1 or so to go for the transparent material as the finish is a better quality.

    Hey Sidbeckitt, I know you said you got the clear one, did you need to do any sanding to it? Could I get an up close shot of the head all painted up? I'd like to see how it looks.

    Ive used the white strong flexible material before and yeah its quite rough, would like to know how much smoother the transparent one is? Also how durable is transparent plastic? White strong flexible is well umm flexible,
    How close is his head to his idw last stand wreckers version?
    Would this head fit onto the cybertron mudflap mold
    Thanks to anyone who can answer my 3 questions

    Now I've actually used it, I can say the Transparent's pretty durable as long as it doesn't have parts that are too thin. In the case of Pyro's head here, for example, the only thing I'd be worried about (without knowing how thick they are, of course) would be the antennae, which are most likely to get knocked.

    That doesn't answer his question about the roughness. I tried sanding the white, but it sucks.

    Okay, I think that's what I'm looking for.
