Just put this together.
no painted pieces or anything. I used a Rah head which i drilled out and shaved down with an exacto knife. I do not know whos head it is. It was some 90's figure i think. I am trying to figure out if i should put something on the chest or not. This is probably my third custom. I havent painted anything yet, but i will soon. The cape is from a mindbender figure. I think it is pretty cool looking. the pics kind of stink though

The thumbnails are actually clearer than the full pic. But I'm having trouble making it out? Try not zooming in so tight (about a figure's lenth of clearance all around the figure should do) & trust your camera to get the details. If your camera's like mine, it focuses on the figure better if I leave the flash on.
Is that a Star Wars body? |

If it's like many cameras, it may have a macro setting. That mode is specifically designed for extreme closeups. It's usually represented by a flower (tulip) icon. Switch to that mode and then try it out. You'd be surprised. As for lighting, try adjusting nearby light sources to enhance the lighting on your figure. It'll work better than a flash on such a close area. Flashes at that distance can make your images look harsh. Hope to see some clearer pics. Good luck!

Hey man, here's a tip- In the 2nd image in the new set of pictures there is some red felt thing in the background. Its in focus. Set the camera and figures up the same way in the same place then take note of how far away that red thing is from your camera. Thats going to be the depth of field for the camera. If its a foot, make sure that next time you take a picture the figures are a foot away from the lens of the camera. Or if your camera has a zoom option, back up a couple of feet, then zoom in until it fills the frame. You are just too close to the subject. take care, Phil |
