'''Request:'''
This has been sitting around with a request for svg conversion. Vector graphics aren't my thing or I'd do this myself: original artwork from multiple sources, obvious encyclopedic value, and engages the viewer's interest in the subject. A bit small for FP candidacy in its current incarnation, but that could be addressed during the conversion.

'''Graphist opinion:'''
 
I might be biting off more than I can chew, but I'll give it a try. Would you please clarify "a bit small"? [[User:Dhatfield|Dhatfield]] ([[User talk:Dhatfield|talk]]) 08:22, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
:I tried for a direct copy. Please shout if you want the teeth to be perfect (lots of work for marginal overall improvement) or you want any other changes eg. size, scale lines or anything else. Cheers. [[User:Dhatfield|Dhatfield]] ([[User talk:Dhatfield|talk]]) 13:02, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

::Hmmm, not sure it'll make it, but you never know with that crowd 0_o Why not? Would you leave a note when it's up - I try to avoid the FPC page due to Wikistress? Thanks. [[User:Dhatfield|Dhatfield]] ([[User talk:Dhatfield|talk]]) 22:27, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
:::As a veteran of FPC I can say that it will have a much better chance if you take the time to smooth out the rough edges--literally. There doesn't seem to be a curve in the entire image! Make things less blocky and you'll increase you chances dramatically.--[[User:HereToHelp|HereToHelp]] <sup>([[User talk:HereToHelp|''talk to me'']])</sup> 22:32, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
::::Can I see the scars? That's what I get for being lazy and tracing the bitmap :) Thanks for the heads-up. I'll hand-tune it and get back to you with something better once I finish mucking about with the Utah teapot. [[User:Dhatfield|Dhatfield]] ([[User talk:Dhatfield|talk]]) 12:07, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

::::Hmmm, just noticed that the renderer is up to its usual tricks again. Tried to fix the offsets (white 'drop shadows'), but no luck, they have a consistent offset with the rest of the image. I'm stuck. MissMJ? [[User:Dhatfield|Dhatfield]] ([[User talk:Dhatfield|talk]]) 23:17, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
