haaha .. thanks.. really I am. this is the first model. I learn real fast. the ear things are really simple. the dish part was just a 6 segment cirle. I selected like the top half of the vertexs. resized them to a negitive to inplode it. thin move that inside the circle. the lines are from subD I just creased the 6 inside edges that made the rays.

besides it toke me like 4 houres to get it on the head. some how along the way I had duplicated the head and had not moved the duplicat. so I had 2 of every thing in same spot. Was a night mare when I went to split and extrude the poly's. Inported the head from a earlyer save.

gess its a good thing the grafix card was over heating. I learned to save reall often ! numbered saves. so I had something to save me.
