Mesh?

Hello everyone!

It's been a while since I've been here (so long that they purged my other account...). I posted often around 2006 and then backed out of the fandom. I'm back, and want to try again!

My old partial was nice, but now that I have an income and means to new materials, I want to remake Bryndle. I'm starting once again with the plastic mesh base- however, upon reading the memories to refresh myself, I notice that plastic mesh is sort of frowned upon. Apparently it breaks easily... how long does it last, and how much abuse can it take? What can I do to make sure it lasts as long as possible? My partial head uses this method, but still holds after 6/7 years. I've only actually went out and about with it for Halloween once, though.

Also, how can I adjust the meshing to give room for my glasses? Contacts are not an option as of right now, and I'm having a hard time imagining how it works. My previous head has no room for glasses, leaving me stumbling around without help. My friends had to guide me around once I put it on recently.

I know that's kind of long winded, but thanks in advance! :D
Edit: Here's what I have right now (sorry about the picture):
