That's a useful table; thanks.

With all that's been suggested, though, I think I'm just going to leave the
scaling at 1 POV unit; it seems to be more logical and 'basic', and can be
easily changed.

I'm getting the sense that, even though the model is meant as a temporary
stand-in, posability would be a great asset. So I'm going to take some extra
time and re-work the model with that in mind. PLUS a reconstruction of the head
(which I'll post some new images of here.) The process shouldn't take too long,
so I'll be back soon!
