can you do something like this bro..
what program your using??..
Sure thing. I'll post another pic once it's done to make sure you're happy with it. I'm using 3DS Max design.
Looking good boys, looking good. You're on the home stretch now
Here's a shot of the back of the head: image
Let me know if you want me to pop it off the ball again.
Just a guess, but I think you'll probably need to square up the back of the head a bit.
Thanks very much for that Iriorne. Just wondering, is it possible for you to take a pic of his head in bot mode from behind as well, just so I can see how it needs to sit and how much clearance to leave underneath? If it's not too much trouble that is...
I appreciate your help with the references on this too btw. Thanks again
No problem, I got bored with having everything in robot mode so I transformed them all into alt mode the other week.

In the second photo you can see the shelf in the bottom of the head, it helps the head to sit over the the pivot hinge for the cockpit.
You're braver than I am by modding something as expensive as a masterpiece.
That's fantastic, thanks very much Iriorne. I see what you mean now about squaring off the rear and base of the head. Hmmm, should be able to do that reasonable easy (hopefully)... Those pictures are very helpful though. I might do some research on ball joint tolerances in 3D design and use that in conjunction with your measurements.
In the meantime, here is my progress on the sculpt. Got some work to do now with squaring off and creating ball joint socket (and a little bit more cleanup around the ears), but hopefully if Lancalot is happy with the design I can start on that now.
