repositioned the faceplate tonight. I was looking for more, even whitespace below the brow, and a corrected angle relationship between the face and forehead. always bugged me that the nose looked cocked back and out of alignment with the forehead...

modeled after the dude on the left:

I realize it will never be perfect, but I figured I could always go back to the other drill holes =).

Contemplating curving the bottom of the eyelids...I'm afraid to trim em into an arc though...no going back on that one :nono

thanks guys...
I tell ya one thing. I have a hunch that the people assembling 50 of these in a rush for ANH either A) took up drinking heavily; B) needed a therapist afterwards; C) had nightmares of assembly every night (PTSD, more like); D) went thru a lot of bandaids.

Cheers
