I can say that your rifle looks amazing! But I should change the eyes. He's calling the dog from your german vehicle and he looks like he didn't eat for a while and is willing to eat the dog.

Looks good Jimmy, only som nitpicks:
1.You should really use a tripod, half your pictures are really blurry.
2.It would be better, if all the pics were vertical not horizontal.

Excellent work Jimmy, most of my figures end up looking like my dog painted them. Also I can see what you meant about him being Harrison ford, But only because his hairs still grey in the first photos.

Keep up the good work

Hi

Try puting a single colour background behind your figure. Like white paper or the back of a book that has no words or pictures on it. It will make you figure stand out more and be in focus
