Almost done with my second head build, pretty much just needs airbrushing at this point. Here it is! https://www.facebook.com/sanssoucistudios/photos/pcb.1463673237038750/1463670987038975/?type=3&theater
Question.... how to tell when a spring in the jaw has sprung and needs to be replaced, or if there's something else interfering with the jaw movement? This guy's mouth snaps shut nicely in all positions (upside down, sideways, etc) **except** when it's in the normal being-worn position. In that case, it will stay shut if pushed shut and will move while being worn (you can kinda close it with your chin from the inside while wearing it, if that makes sense) so it still looks pretty cool. But I'd like it to work better, especially since I want to sell it. I'm wondering if it's the weight from the front of the hood hanging from the lower jaw that makes it less than springy, since it does close well when the hood isn't hanging directly from it? Or is it a spring? I'm thinking at some point I'll probably run into a spring that needs to be replaced, so it'd be good to recognize it when I do. Not that it'd be easy to replace the springs on this guy at this point....
TIA!!
