They are exact in terms of aspect ratio and to change them would produce no worth while result. You're welcome to give it a go but I really don't see how it would help.Gordon332https://www.blogger.com/profile/17690592260936410432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2649149095048346117.post-2447616403849448372016-07-17T18:12:48.887+10:002016-07-17T18:12:48.887+10:00Well, it's about aspect ratio's, the man&#...Well, it's about aspect ratio's, the man's head was at an angle and the area beneath the chin was too 'heavy so I trimmed that and compensated for the angle shot. As per previous, his face is much broader in reality but there are some aspects that make you concerned and they include the apparent match of the left eye. I will see what can be done.Gordon332https://www.blogger.com/profile/17690592260936410432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2649149095048346117.post-38267982753523600172016-07-17T18:08:19.170+10:002016-07-17T18:08:19.170+10:00Why not blow out the others faces to suit the widt...Why not blow out the others faces to suit the width of number 4, he's a bit skinny in the shot.peterboweshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04383208822885209896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2649149095048346117.post-5363717932554125362016-07-17T16:45:03.244+10:002016-07-17T16:45:03.244+10:00We crossed over Pete!

During the mold process, the body would have been properly supported, I have some images and a video somewhere that shows the entire thing from start to finish. I would not be 100% certain that this is the same man, hard to visualise that being the case. But, there would be contributing factors that shgould be taken into account. My role as I see it is to present what's there and make comments. Attended my fair share of PMs, messy affairs. Only ever seen one embalming and that although messy, had an impressive outcome.<br /><br />I am still unsure why the bust was made, I have not been able to find another case of that in the 1940's as yet.Gordon332https://www.blogger.com/profile/17690592260936410432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2649149095048346117.post-34107582907449545212016-07-17T16:14:03.991+10:002016-07-17T16:14:03.991+10:00Would his facial skin slip down as Lawson cut it a...Would his facial skin slip down as Lawson cut it at the hairline? There wouldn't be much flesh under the embalmed top-skin after six months, and he did make the bust when the corpse was sat up on a bench. <br />GF has a picture of the mess he was in on page 153, bottom left.peterboweshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04383208822885209896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2649149095048346117.post-43139226520211546942016-07-17T14:46:38.078+10:002016-07-17T14:46:38.078+10:00Just backtracking a little, the light is coming fr...Just backtracking a little, the light is coming from the left<br />hand side of the face so the apparent indentation may not be anything more than the normal line of the nose where it 'thins' towards the fleshy part of the nostrils. You can test it out by running your left index finger along the mid top left of the your own nose.<br /><br />So, it could be that the nose is broken or just the way the light is highlighting the shape.Gordon332https://www.blogger.com/profile/17690592260936410432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2649149095048346117.post-72327327215367288882016-07-17T14:05:21.884+10:002016-07-17T14:05:21.884+10:00Yes, I think you're right.

Wonder how the good Professors missed that.<br /><br />Something else missing, the 'ridge line' across the forehead has gone. In relation to the latter, I don't think the ridge line was ever there, the line that shows on the original profile and face shots was where the superimposition of the other face was poorly joined.Gordon332https://www.blogger.com/profile/17690592260936410432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2649149095048346117.post-60793040239145761332016-07-17T13:29:43.757+10:002016-07-17T13:29:43.757+10:00His nose looks broken - it's indented on his l...His nose looks broken - it's indented on his left side.peterboweshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04383208822885209896noreply@blogger.com
