OK here's a couple of images with just the lace cut and postitioned roughly. It's not fitted/ glued and it need thinning etc etc but it looks better IMO.

I'll keep the offcut to send to toplace and experiment with thinning this peice. Screw new year, I've got a kitchen to pay for anyway.

I'm gonna order a full swiss lace peice and make myself partials out of it and use dermatch else where. I may get lucky and be able to thicken the strange thinning area with minox and really I need to. My thinning on the crown I'll hide slightly but leave a tiny amount of thinning to add authenticity.

Peace
