Also we have to admit, a professional miniature designer is better at composing and posing a miniature than an amateur (get a few miniatures from ebay lots to see just how bad some people are at assembling and posing miniatures--it should be left to the professionals! lol).

He's a frustrating model, as despite having a symmetrical flat-on face his eyes are at very different heights.
