Hmmm what if for the head you get multiple shades of white to sew them on to that, mimicking faceplates?

do you mean regular white on the right and a darker one on the left, or just white with grey lines for faceplates?

I mean like randomly in the shape of face plates

kewl

you should have knitted it, or used a blanket ot towl and stitched it together

yeah, thought about that but was too lazy to look for any spare blankets/towels
