Can you try sending me a PM?
If you are a new member the forum board has a waiting period for new members before you start buying selling or trading,however i have the Hitler head on my ebay listings for sale.Item number#160813024858 or just look under "1/18 German head" .after making the purchase,request the invoice(before paying) and send me a email(in ebay) that you are a board member and i will adjust the shipping to free.I will include the tracking.If you have any other questions let me know.[/quote]
That sounds great! Now another question. First of all, you have other things I´d like to buy, maybe a couple of soldiers and definitely one of the Patton´s figures.
Second, the head is unpainted, I was thinking about buying from you a painted head and if possible a suitable body.
Is such thing possible?

I would like to have all of those.If Weylen make those,i will be buying a few for my collection.
Someone ask me a similar question on ebay about a General MacArthur.
I painted Gradmofftarkin's hair in brown and added a mustache,and it look like general Montgomery.I need to get a beret from elite force or marauder inc.

I thought people here are not interesting in figure; probably I go for wrong direction! I might target the WWII general series of Allies & Axis, what you guys think?
Have fun with toys forever!

I will be interested on the heads of the Generals.Also Stalin is #1 on my wish list.
It would sell better than Hitler because Hitler can not be listed under it's real name.
In my personal opinion the heads will be better off if you make them slightly smaller than the Hitler one,so that way it can be used not only on 4" figure but also on 3 3/4" body.

I use a ultimate soldier Japanese imperial marines leader body.There was no painting done on this body(yet),but from far it looks like the light brown color of Hitler's favorite Nazi uniform.
The first thing i did was to dremel a hole on the part where the head was going to be inserted.The hole was large,but not deep enough.I did not want to cut the neck shorter because i could use the same head on the future for another body.
The next thing was that the body had two belts on the waist making the torso look skinny and long. So i cut the highest belt with a razor blade with a lot of caution to not damage or cut the torso's peg. I modify the peg to go more easy when is connected to the upper torso,so when i need to sit the figure on the limousine,i disconnect the lower torso and simply seat only the upper part of the body.
The Last thing i need to do is to paint the uniform.The good thing is that the color will be similar,so if it get scratch on the joints it will not look bad.
This body is good for guys with no painting skill,or simply no time and want to take the easy path.

I have a extra painted head that i was going to use to build another hitler with a different outfit,but i figured out that i can easy swap the head to the other body for displaying.
send me a PM if you are still interested.

i must have missed this when it was on the boards, i actually bought one of the heads on ebay a few months back. would love to get a painted one if still available. also would love to see any of the other high rank germans.
also i know its rare on this site, but i am actually a figure collector not a vehicle collector.
