Banpresto Non Scale Gundam Head Display

GUNDAM F91
It's really been awhile since i have posted anything on Ebasenet and my apologies on this but work and other commitments has really been keeping me away from completing any models. Anyway long story short, the Gundam head groupbuild is back and this time around i have decided to do a head with a different color scheme from the usual white, so i have chosen the Gundam F91 Harrison Custom.
 
The model Front, Back, and Side view.
The same with all the other heads in the lineup from Banpresto this design followed the very classic drawing and the lines are a little 'curvy' compared to the later MG model with a harsher bolder design.
The parts breakdown was the same but unlike the Turn A i did last time i was pretty excited because of the Double V fin the F91 had plus the standard gundam "facemask"!! The V fin and facemask both proved a challenge as they were superglued really well together so i had to drill each one out. 
I'm trying to turn the head into a more modern updated feel by following the MG model which i quickly snapfitted the upper torso part to use as a reference. The first order of modification i started from the top of the head.
The Banpresto one had a slight curve in the front part of his 'cap' whereas the MG was straight.
After remocing the extra part there was a hole beneath it which allowed me to add in some detailing. There would be further panel lining done on this part alone namely the 'tail' part which neads straightening as well.
The Cheek armor needed a little extension as well but this plate here was design a little thin compared to the Strike erix93 is doing right now. So i had to use another way other than the usual layering of pla plates to build.
 
I had to put in a base plate on which i will add on about 2 more layers of 0.3 mm and a 1.0 mm plate. It would be the matching of both the sides which would cause me the most problems later on.
That's all from now...
