lost that other thread cause of the hackers. Buzz, I am damn glad i took those reference photos of the nose and you pointed out that little vertical fold there. I was so fixed on the vertical line that you were talking about that I didn't even notice that the nose pad was way too small and most of it had been tucked into the nostrils because the short nosed form. I looked at the reference photos yesterday when i was molding in the little vertical nose parting seam with some sculpt epoxy and suddenly noticed i needed to add a ton of material to the pad to make the nostrils long and narrow instead of round like they were. I bet I used a good nickle sized ball of sculpt epoxy to build it up! By comparing it with my reference photos i am really happy with the results. It is a tad wide in the center but not as bad as the pictures make it look because of the lack of depth in the photo. Here are a few pictures of the finished product, and the last one of him in his final resting place on the wall. The wife loves it too!
