Any thoughts?

Hey guys,
I got a new model through today, the "Not Rogal Dorn" model by Kabuki.
The thing is, I think the head is a little small. What do you guys think?

It's not too small. He's just driving that suit from a pilot's seat mounted inside the torso.
Alternately, there was a random mutation, "Pinhead" back in the Rogue Trader rule book.
Or possibly.......

@Konrad - Good call mate!
@Prim - It does look small but I would like to see him next to Lionel John-Thomas for a comparison.

.....but all kidding aside, it's an otherwise sweet model. Is the head swap-able, or will it require some ugly chopping to get it off. Ugly chopping I hope. Love chopping the 'eads offa marines.

Nice model, shame about the head
It really is too small and ruins an otherwise really nice model. However, a head swap looks pretty easy to do, judging from the photo.

The head isnt glued on yet (the model in the picture is from the website, mine is still in bits). Sticking a GW marine head on should be no problem. I'm thinking either a Mk4 marine head

or one of the bare heads from the Dark Angel kit with a crew cut. The hole for the neck isnt very big, but I can just trim the plastic neck down to fit.

I thought it didn't look too far off from, say, the dude on the cover of Codex: Space Marines. Tiny heads to emphasize huge armor seems to be the current art trend.

Definitely go with an un-helmeted head. Much more character. I dare say you have a fair stash of spare heads in your bitz box, you must have something vaguely suitable.
