Can you modify soft vinyl heads? (Obitsu/Volks)

[MeltedCaramel]

Okay, so, I know I'm probably asking a really stupid question, but I just ordered some blank heads from SetsunaKou (<3) and the SH-06 head happens to be perfect for a project I'm working on....except for the nose. It's just a bit too pointed for the highly stylized, rounded features of the character I'm working on. Is there any way to modify vinyl heads? I.e. things like:

-Obviously sanding/rounding out the tip of the nose via some other method?
-widening the pre-made "mouth line" into a wider smile
-etc, etc, etc.

Basically: Can vinyl heads be modified, or are you stuck with the exact sculpt you have?

Okay, answering my own question here. As long as you use a FINE GRADE sandpaper it's able to slightly modify or change facial features without deforming the face. I succeeded in just playing around with an extra head and rounding out the nose and sharpening the jaw.

This tutorial will help you! And yes, you can do a lot with the heads!



These are both examples of what you can do with vinyl heads. The one on the right is a Gretel head, the one on the left is the Obitsu Designer head - it doesn't come with open eyes. The Gretel has had the mouth opened up, and the other head has had eyes opened.

I have fixed heads using 1500 fine grit sandpaper.

THANK YOU BOTH. OMG. It has been driving me insane because a few of my customs are hyper-stylized anime characters that need some fine tuning!!! <33333 I can't explain what a big help this is!
