Re: 3d head help
if you can get enough photo of him on all side ( side, front, rear..) you can use something like autotodesk 123d catch : http://www.123dapp.com/catch free
or
other software like :

Re: 3d head help
I would look into printing a lithopane. This will allow you to print a cool little object that will be a grayscale representation when held to light. I've been printing a decent amount of these and people love them.
Lucky for you thingiverse just started to allow this to work with the customizer and you no longer need to buy seperate software to do it easily.
Step 1: Find an image. I suggest having a light background with a portrait that has good contrast. You need to step up your google image game! Check these results to find a good image.
Step 2: Use thingiverse lithopane customizer.
Step 3: Print your new lithopane in White ABS at .2mm layers at 100% infill. You might need to crank up your flow multiplier slider in Repetier-Host during the print to make sure your layers are thick enough to touch each other.
