They recovered the files, I mean, I see them and all that...they even claim to take up space on the drive according to the individual properties of them but nope, I can't open a single one regardless of my method. I think they may be somehow compressed or simply corrupt. I have to speak with the tech guy who did the recovery but he's off for awhile.

As for the model, it's no where near finished. Tons of work to do on the body and the clothing (yes, he will have clothes!) . I need to bend the fingers around  his axe before I start sculpting them but the hands will be getting much needed attention this weekend.
