  Unfortunately, forms editor seems to work best when you have
symmetric objects that you can cross section easily. One person
mentioned getting a foam mannequin head and chopping it up to get
the cross sections, but it doesn't really seem to me like all
this should be necessary for a head shape. It's just basically a
sphere with smooth indentations for eyes, a smooth projection for
a nose, and same for the chin and jaw. Unfortunately, the detail 
editor doesn't seem up to this, and I don't have any mannequin heads
handy B^). Maybe I'll try drawing some cross sections from scratch,
but I have my doubts..
