Major setback :frak: :frak: :frak: :frak: :frak: :frak: :frak: :frak: :frak: :frak:

I have to reprint and recut all the pieces for the head :frak: :frak:

never pay someone with no experience to cut the parts out !!
I have gone through all the parts, found four I can use. Note to self, cut the solid lines not the dotted fold lines.

I am having doubts about my IL build. I have the top cone done, but it seems to me that it is too small.
Could you take a gander at the pics in the thread and the pic of the cone below. Does my cone look too small to you?
To me, I think another 10-20% larger would be closer to correct size. I am thinking of doing one 20% larger for a better comparison.

It is so early into what you have done so far, but recall that as the head moves down it will get larger. It might be an optical trick playing your mind at this time. If it isn't to wild, and crazy to continue on I would. If it isn't easy then rethink what you have, and try boosting the size a bit and go from there. Take a look at this. These are all my failed Daggit ear attempts. I haven't stop, but I have put a lot of time, and effort into this Daggit project trying to find the just right way of doing this. I am also being a perfectionist about it.

Hm, after studying some screen-caps from the series, your first attempt may have the correct size at all...

Does us a favor, and show us where the spot on Lucifer's head the location your build stop. So we can compare the images Red Eye posted to get a better feel for the size.
