Pigasus Build Part 9 Ears



I wanted the pig's ears to have a blown back look.

To get the correct angle of the ear on the nose cone "head":
1. 220 grit sandpaper was wrapped around the main body tube.
2. The ears were held at what I thought was the correct angle against the sandpaper.
3. The inside edge of the ear was sanded down by going in a straight line, back and forth, over the sandpaper.

Here's the inside angle (or the gluing surface) of the ears, ready to be glued to the nose cone.

After checking the ears on the nose cone, I ended up sanding more off the edge so the ears would lay back farther. This picture was taken before the second sanding adjustment.
