You are improving. The fine details on their buttons are really good. I really think you should have a go at their pupils too.
1) Just paint a small white line across where the eye ball is (or should be on models with poor detail).
2) Then, with a hand as steady as a rock (no hangover) dot the pupil with a fine detail brush. If you make a mistake and it looks like it's cross eyed go back to 1.

When people look at a miniature they are naturally drawn to the face (and eyes in particular).
Try to avoid a large white eye ball as the figure can look like its got the 'thousand yard stare' fine for a strange character!

As you gain confidence you can use the eyes to get a particular look to your model. I wanted the Sister Ophelia character to look slightly austere as if she's looking down with disgust at the filthy hell sent Zombies.
   

Hope this helps. Keep at it you are getting better
