...form-altering fool! lol I worked on this doe form pretty much half the day. It was giving me problems a few days ago when I test fitted the skin, because I had so much extra face skin with nowhere to go. There was no way I was mounting that doe up that way, so I had to lengthen the E-N measurement. I thought of taking a few pics along the way. Before After cutting the face in half on an angle (this is the only way to do it, not straight up and down) I used nails pushed into the one piece, secured with hot glue, to hold the two pieces together where I wanted to add on to the form. I then hot-glued some paper around this area, to hold in the bondo that will be taking up the empty space. (leaving it open to pour the bondo in) Pouring it in it will stay like this until the bondo is almost done curing. you can take the paper off when the bondo is still somewhat flexible but not fully cured, this way it will be easy to shave off any excess. If you don't do this, a dremel can easily be used once the bondo cures. Finished product, smoothed over. I also installed the Eppely nose, and used some Apoxie Sculpt to fill out the face area more because it was so thin.
