I finished adjusting the pattern(what a pain in the ass) and took it apart. All of the fur is cut out for the body suit and the two colors have been basted together. I have received some samples of mesh I plan on using to construct the head using Tioh's aka Markus Nowak's ideas. He and Furvan(forgive me if I forget others) hosted a great advanced fursuit panel at FC 2008 so I got to see how those crazy Germans engineer suits!
