ClayB Report post Posted December 22, 2009 I just wanted to give this a bump in case anyone that was interested in watching Charlie's lesson had forgotten about it. Charley started posting his "how to" on this project on Tandy's blog yesterday. You can get the the blog by clicking here and while you are there, you can sign up to be notified as additional posts are made. I'm really looking forward to seeing how he tackles all those faces.
