HELP! I need to see this. The first post link is broken and the other picture is tiny. Please post a larger pic. I am also working on a new face. Is yours an overlay or a completely new face? What did you use to make it? Details please.

Thanks... I guess I have been familiar with that sort of film stuff. What I am looking for is what you refer to as layer three in that post... the thin plastic backing itself, what have you used for that? I've been looking for thin plexiglass or lexan sheet or something like that.

Unfortunately it is material left over from making Architectural models in school. I'm not exactly sure what it is or where it came from. It might have been something I inherited from another student.
Maybe look for clear styrene...I'm pretty sure that is what it is since we use that alot where we need really thin clear material.
