Thank you. I did make it from scratch. I started with a sphere. I really 
can't give you any step-by-step descriptions of how I made it, since it took 
probably thousands of individual steps. A lot of moving faces out or in, 
moving points, splitting faces, merging faces, etc. The ear I modeled away 
from the head, so I could see what I was doing. The whole thing took me 
several weeks, working an hour or two every day. It was definitely not an 
easy task. One good thing about it is that with that basic head already 
made, I can take it, and in a comparably short time, make a different 
looking face, by changing the shape of the nose, the general width of the 
head, size of the eyes, etc. I posted the mdl file in moray.binaries. You 
could probably learn a lot by studying the mesh in the mesh edit views.
