They look pretty damn good. (Says he, with his nose pressed up against the screen !)

Thanks.  I'm really taking my time with these.  I tried to vary the colour of trousers, hats, etc, 'cos most of the coats will all be a variation of off-white.  There's something perverse about painting that much detail onto something so tiny that really appeals.

I am sure they are brilliant, but they just look to me like men seen on a dark night from about a hundred yards away!

This might be marginally better

Try resting them on a sheet of white paper to photo

Will do when I get home from work.  I photographed them late last night and was getting too much glare against a white background under the electric lights.  I'll take a picture while the sun's still up.

A white background can be very hard to photograph against - the camera will see all the white and cut down the exposure time, leaving the figures as dark blobs.

Try going with a medium coloured background - a green cutting mat works pretty well.

They look good in the second photo but it's hard to tell . Look forward to some 'better' pics soon, fingers crossed. But then I'm no David Bailey so can't criticise others attempts .

[Plasticoutsider]

Fingers crossed

Basically, I'm using a telephone to do all this (I don't have a computer at home)

[toxicpixie]

Much better - can see them! I tend to use the phone and it's not great...

[Techno]

Definitely clearer !

Do you use a camera to call your friends?

Friends?  I play with toy soldiers.  And spend summer Sunday afternoons indoors painting 1 cm high figures.

Yes, my relations often remark on my "prison pallor".

So, 5 months after exposing the inside of my head, I felt like my concentration levels might extend to some musketeers from Denzil Holles' regiment at Edgehill.

[Techno]

Looking good, that man!

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Welcome back.
Nice work.

[Subedai]

That's a good start. Just the other 10 infantry regiments and 'x' amount of cavalry and aunty hilary and you can call it a day.
