Yes, looks really good! The seam shouldn't be much of a problem to remove and touch up. 

I see the seam too, but that's not too big of a deal. You've done a very good job of painting him. Looks to me like you're ready for even more advanced techniques.  :)

Nice job! The pics don't show any frosting, so it looks ok.  

Looks real good to me too. I like the heavy flat coat.

must be my eyes going

Nicely done!  Good shading and highlighting!  I don't think you overdid it with the clear. 

I don't want to be picky, but I would want someone to point this out to me if I had posted this figure. Look at the right arm in the photo with the pilot looking at the viewer.  Did you miss a casting seam that runs down the arm and on to the hand? 

All the best,

Dan
