Yeah, I don't believe that. Too many things point towards a Rubies. I've worked on one and I know where it differs from screen used and I see those details in that scan.

yeah same here I have a reworked rubies (shoulda used bumper repair damn) and yeah I spent ages trying to get it to feel organic and that scan doesn't get rid of how 'forced' it looks, but that eye reshaping was done alot better than most who have had a go at the rubies myself included.
What is bumper repair?

I assume it is some kind of sandable filler?
For the Rubies you need something that bonds well, is able to flex, and sands really well. I used Spackle filler but the bond sometimes snaps if you twist the helmet too much - it works well if you don't plan to remove the dome once placed or wear the helmet, but it you are going to do those things a lot, you need something better.

It is a kind special type of fillar meant for ABS plastic found on the bumpers of cars.

I don't have much time right now, but the main feature is the nose and mouth area. Dead giveaway. Nothing authentic looks like that.
