   Yes, but it was also too wide. I corrected both things and some other 
details with SharpConstruct (sharp3d.sourceforge.net), a nice tool for 
mesh-sculpting. I find it too difficult to model an entire head with it, 
but as it imports .obj files, it's useful to retouch objects done with 
other apps, like Wings3D in this case.

   :) I'm sorry, but that's only a lucky effect of the photographic 
image_map: the mouth geometry is really ugly. What's really incredible 
is how a photo mapped carefully can change the look of the real geometry.
