The screw eyes are a bit out of proportion, just waiting for smaller ones to arrive in the post.
Speaking of eyes, see if you can work out how these were done.

Are the eyes made from a mascara (or manscara :D) pencil?

Very nicely done.

Should there not be a slight twist or flutes towards the tail to give some movement? Some sort of "fin" in the chin would take it down. Looks good.

Plug cutter for the eye?
