First up. Welcome to the forum!

It is a place full of warm, welcoming, well read, well informed, weird and wacky denizens :)

Secondly, nice figures! Particularly like the mounted officer.

Thank you, I have been viewing the forum for a month or so and just realized how to register directly through Pendraken. Looking forward to the discussion, inspiration and seeing all the great work others do with this great line of miniatures.

Here are some shaky hand, iPhone pics of some regular French units plus some sculpts painted as the Portuguese Legion. Not a match for head gear but good enough for this chap lol. Will get out the good camera and photo booth form better lighting once the basing is complete

Umm maybe once I get the good camera maybe. I can click on them and zoom in but it  does lose the quality. Test figures of the 9th Hussars should be done tomorrow so will try with them. Just interested in seeing or why do you want so close?

Great stuff but it's not the camera - phones are more than adequate these days. All my pics are taken on my Samsung S8

grab yourself a clip on flexi-tripod thing, something like this https://www.amazon.co.uk/Ailun-Compact-Compatible-s10plus-Cellphone-Black/dp/B01N6713N8/ref=sr_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=phone+camera+tripod&qid=1611999601&sr=8-5 (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Ailun-Compact-Compatible-s10plus-Cellphone-Black/dp/B01N6713N8/ref=sr_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=phone+camera+tripod&qid=1611999601&sr=8-5)

and a fold up light box, something like this https://www.amazon.co.uk/Photography-Studio-Kit-Portable-Backdrops/dp/B07DXW1R2L/ref=sr_1_15?dchild=1&keywords=photo+light+booth&qid=1611999694&sr=8-15 (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Photography-Studio-Kit-Portable-Backdrops/dp/B07DXW1R2L/ref=sr_1_15?dchild=1&keywords=photo+light+booth&qid=1611999694&sr=8-15)

and you'll see a huge improvement and it doesn't cost a fortune:

Most of the time, the problem is not getting too zoomed in  :D
