This started life as a Verlinden Soldier at Rest resin figure. I did my first fig conversion on this, so he would be reading a letter instead of a map. Painting was done with a mix of craft paints, Tamiya, and MM acryl and Vallejo acrylics. Weathering is with Vallejo and Mig Pigments. Grass is from Woodland Scenics.

Looks good, but do you have a macro mode on your camera so it could get proper focus on the vignette?

See my comments at FSM.

It was in macro mode believe it or not. I think the lighting was screwing some things up. I also didn't have my camera mounted on the tripod like I usually do for things this size.

The camera may have been confused as to where to should focus. Typically cameras default to a focus method that averages the focal length between several points in the view. If you can change this to a "point" focus, or some such other name that the camera maker may use, it will only determine focus from a small area in the very center of the image. Perfect for small subjects like this where just a couple of millimeters can throw the focus off.

If your camera still has trouble focusing after this, you can always take one picture with a multicolored card (something like a magazine pic would do fine) set at the center axis of your intended subject. Once the camera focuses on this, lock the focus at that range and then remove the card and photograph your subject. Make sure you have the focal depth set right as well. If you're not sure where to start, set your F-Stop as close to 6 as you can as a base point, then adjust higher for greater focal depth and lower for less focal depth. Of course, you'll need for light for a proper exposure at higher F-stops, so you'll have to ramp up the lighting a bit, or adjust the exposure values in your camera.

This is assuming your camera can do all this though. And maybe you already know all this, and I'm just rambling.
