51591pr0001 - request for the Reindeer - Hebben - 2023-06-19
I don't know if anyone is maybe working on it, but I like to use part 51591pr0001 (Rebrickable number) - Animal, Reindeer with Dark Brown Antlers, White Front

I'd like to throw in my support for this as well.
On a related note I'm really curious how part authors who handle complex parts like this manage to do it. I've only ever done part authoring by eye, and it's not great. If I had better tools at my disposal maybe I could take a whack at it.

* Take a picture with a long lense from the front.
* Strip the Reindeer head of everything but the front
* Load the pic as background and the wireframe of the head into LDPC
* Use the wireframe as template and work along the existing mesh and make sure all your newly created vertices fall on the wireframe of the head.
