    trick with hoodies is to anchor the ears first...glue or pin.....then you can fill and groom(you dont taxi)

    Byrdman, I didn't use anything in those heads. No caulk no filler,no clay. I did not anchor the ears either. The first one turned out kind wavy, and I think it's cause I pulled up on the hood. Kept grabbing it at the tips of the hood feathers and pulling up and forward. The second one I used a pin to "taxi" or move the skin forward and down on each side of the base of the hood until the top line got nice and crisp. Then I just left it to dry.

    Like I said, I haven't done but 3 and my first was a couple years ago. I'm always open to trying new techniques, if what I'm doing isn't working. But, at least on this one, it worked.
