I've used several dummy heads made by a good engineering friend of mine, mostly just for fun. Should have seen the look we got when we took them to along to one of the London shows about 4 years back (as visitors, not exhibitors I should mention)!
He mounted his heads with DPA's, Tram's, even adapted them for use with BK 4006's.
Don't quote me exactly, but to make one you need about a 10" plywood disc which you mount onto a 6" length of broom handle. Then you find some suitable thick chunks of foam that you can shape into wedges. The thin edge of the wedge (sorry about the bad puns) goes at the front towards the sound source. Mic's can be mounted using little holes burrowed into the foam, in the case of full size mics holes cut backwards through the foam make good mic holders (keep the holes tight). Now the really clever bit is for the windshields. Get two metal flour sieves, cut off the handles and stretch womens tights over them. Hinge them from the front and secure with a wire clip mechanism of your own choosing at the back. Great windshield system that reall works, also alows access to the mics to try different types etc.
Good luck
Regards
Roland
