If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

Re: Another figure conversion....Oh dear
Work begins by shaving off most of the hair and the big '70s sideburns, the back of the head has to go as it's not possible to shave it down to the back of the skull shape - this will be replaced with sculpted Milliput. The ends of the sleeves are shaved down to make bare forearms (in progress), the deep wrinkles of the suit are sanded down to look much shallower and the bottom of the trousers are built up with Milliput to make a more suitable shape. The racing shoes have a bit cut from the bottom to make a heel & sole rather than a solid bottom. The bottom 3 laces are shaved off to more boot-like laces and the socks/ trouser cuffs will be covered by sculpted Milliput gaiters

Its not just how good your painting is, its how good the touch-ups are too.

Re: Another figure conversion....Oh dear
I like the work you do,I would never attempt such a task, due to chubby fingers and no skill.
