Hello Bruce!
You could use an Xacto knife for best results, watch your fingers! If you
don't cut of the tab on the armor you must leave the head slightly raised,
advantage is a taller warrior. The red head is good for fire demons,
goblins or other such denziens. Another helm that works well (and looks
good) is the visored knights helm (bassinette style) which is just another
town helmet with visor hinge. Remember that all printing on the figure can
be removed with Brasso, available in the cleaning supply section of most stores.
Best 'o luck!
