Cheers Tweety, Ill look into UT and see. Hammer is a good tool, but its not a modelling tool. I am just hoping to use it as a demo real, i know its a lot of work, but with out 4-6 years in Uni.

On that subject, yes I get my tuition paid for and £4000 p.a, but thats it. I have a child and a mortgage, and need more than that to survive. There are grants to help out with the mortgage/rent, but I'm not married and I am not entitled so I have beeen told. To say I live alone and I am found out, could mean a withdrawl of all funding and then having to pay that back, so the risk is too high.

God the UK Sucks...

Hooray! Glad you're back on this thing. You've really got your work cut out for you now. To get everything done in time I mean. I'm sure you can do it though. Good luck R@nSID!

I think the structure is a little unsettling. The mouth is too far from the nose and there isn't enough interest in the form there. Also, though it's a mask, the eyes still should need to be more or less in the middle of the head. I don't think the cheeks work as they are. They're going down as they meet the nose instead of up.

Anyway, good work. Keep it coming dude
