get the UVHelper script. grab the front half of you model, apply a planar uvw, repeat for the back half. move uvs so the two aren't right on top of each other, run the script a bunch of times until no stretching. That won't get it perfect, but it will make it so you won't go insane. Personally, I enjoy unwrapping models.
Where can I get the UVHelper script? I am doing it from 4 different angles at the moment, front, back, 45 between back and front, 45 between front and back. Its not stretching so much now but it will be REALLY bad when I get to the face lol. Thanks for the tips, keep em comming
