scale problem

I have a question about scaling a object. I have one simple bear where i have made 2 seperate eyebrows on. I combined it to the bear, and it seems like everything works fine until i scale it down. then it slowly works it way out from the bear. the more i scale it down, the gap between the head and the eyebrow gets bigger and bigger.

I wil try to get some photos out her. If you see them, you will understand the problem.

Thank you

it does seem as though you haven't combined it, try without combining it and group it instead, center pivot and then try and scale it, see what happens

You likely have double transforms on the object as a result of duplicating the eyebrow. Try deleting history on the objects. Best to group them instead of combining them too. But delete history either way.

delete the problematic eyebrow and duplicate the good one, put a -1 in the scale (normally -X) and regroup the lot, also check the outliner making sure there is no history lingering about as sometimes it does.
