Use a maliable metal bar form like a sewing needle for the stitching. Stiff and
sturdy
yet forms tight and firm.
How about creating some kind of metal form. make it slightly angular that it
enters
at the point of the leather and slides along at a slight angle so that the
thickness
of the skin only is attached. To make it realistic allow the angle to level off
for a bit
then angle back upwards towards the leather where it exits out. Continue this
pattern
maintaining the contours of the face skin in relationship to the leathers.
Yeucks - plastic bloody surgeon anyone

screws or some kind of leather or string? Any ideas?
I've tried stitches, but they are so small they are not really vizable farther
away.
I've thought of screws, but, would that make sense at all - I really wouldn't
see how that could be realistic, maybe it doesn't have to be?
I think the idea I have been leaning toward, is using leather straps in an X
shape and positioning them around the face plate. Really though, wouldn't that
tear through the flesh. Again, maybe it doesn't matter.
I'm looking for some suggestions. I have spent a lot of time looking at other
characters, trying to come up with my own creative way to make it look like the
face plate has replaced the lower half of his face. If only I wasn't having a
creative block.
