Looks like you may have some issues getting your cover stips to sit flat though, because of trimming you have lost the flat section they would normally sit on, you may need to heat up these areas before applying the strips.

gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted November 11, 2018 Report Share Posted November 11, 2018 Does look a little high, more of a sandy look. You can compare with some of the screen images in the gallery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katye Posted November 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2018 Finally got the brow and ears hopefully right. Looked at some photos in the galley doesn’t look like my gaps are too big. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted November 11, 2018 Report Share Posted November 11, 2018 Brow does have a bit on an angle to it, may need a tweak. Some gap is acceptable with the ears, if you want to try for a little closer here is a great thread to follow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukswrath[Staff] Posted November 12, 2018 Report Share Posted November 12, 2018 Glen is correct the brow is at an angle. Also the eye sockets need to be cut out more also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katye Posted November 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2018 Glen is correct the brow is at an angle. Also the eye sockets need to be cut out more also. How much more would you say for the sockets?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compare with the image I posted above, there’s a lot of material left on the inside or the eyes and you have a large gap between them. Research is the key to this hobby 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
