Goofy dental work

From a time-spent perspective, I've plowed too many hours into revising my Elmore head and jaw considering how much he'll likely fetch on Ebay.  But sometimes I'll spend more time if there's a learning experience in it for me.  That's certainly the case here.

When forming the lower lip on the rebuilt jaw, I made room for a couple of protruding odd-ball teeth.  The open and close of the jaw moves very smoothly, which really took up my time.  At first it was locking up and I couldn't figure out why.  Persistence eventually paid off after much grinding and sanding. 

Next step is to put lower teeth and tongue in the jaw.
