Golly... Seven hours' work on the Mighty Mite and not a single comment...
Why do I get the feeling that if it was plastic and I'd only posted one image at any time of my work's progression, there would have been encouragements?
Probably because pixel work is still very much undermined compared to plastic, albeit unconsciously. 
I suspect part of it is that the Mite is not that distinctive, especially comapred to the Midget above ( which is superb, by the way. )
I didn't even register that the Mite was a modifaction of the Goblin until I read this post-its a subtle enough variation that it
doesn't immeadiately register with the mind's eye.
As for pixels vs. plastic, well maybe. You speak of seven hours work, where a comparable piece of plastic might take considerably
longer-but thats not all that relevant in my view. I've seen any number of what I thought were outstanding builds get one or
two replies, while a profile that did little besides change a paint scheme went on for pages. Profiles and mash-ups* like this
don't typically show the work in progress, so its had to encourage someone if they've already finished, no?
I'll be the first to admit that I don't pay as much attention to this part of the hobby as I might-its not something I feel all
that drawn to, and I doubt my own ability to get anywhere near the kind of work you and others have produced here. The
latter is probably the stronger motivation really.
Anyway, the Mite is a beautiful piece of work. Subtle, as I said, but the sort of image that rewards close study. Most of us
physical modelers would all but kill to achieve so flawless a finish.
