ACK! That's gonna be a toughie! Good luck.
One of my little "secrets" is that I often "draw"
the face in a two-dimensional image (i.e., Z = -13
for all points on this preliminary image),
and then check the "Front View" box in MLCAD
to make sure the image looks OK.
Then, using my mathematics knowledge,
I calculate the actual Z-axis components
for all the points (there is a directly proportional
relationships between the X-component and the Z-component,
that is independent of the Y-component within the range
of Y = 4 and Y = 17 for the minifig head).
Hope this helps.

I've already done 1/4 (...) (24 years ago, 21-Nov-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
