This is my first post, here are a few bases of my new French 1809 "advance to Wagram" mini diorama I am creating (reason for no basing) also looking to start getting into commission work.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210123/308fe20087979c23fec9a62c996b1d4d.jpg)

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.
Very impressive work sir.
Nice stuff, and welcome
Very nice!
Welcome on board :).

Greetings JQD.....

Anyone in particular? Just so I don't spam the thread. Currently started working on some 9th Hussars so will post those up once done.

Any of the cavalry or infantry.
Something that can be zoomed in to.

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?

To get a better idea of how you are painting.

Maybe it's the time we live in, but I thought you were offering video conferencing.

Brilliant work I love the big bases
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:
