Target Forward

Hong, thank you. The Coolpix does have a portrait mode for closeups that I use for most of my pics.

If the cool pix has a macro setting (usually identified by a flower icon) try that Paul. It will increase depth of field and allow you to get in a bit closer. Portrait mode (head icon) is usually trying to set the camera up for a shallow depth of field to blur the background behind the subject. It’s not really for close ups.

Thanks Tim, I misspoke. The mode I called "portrait" was in reality the macro (flower icon). Shows to'go'ya how little I know of photography.

Does it have a "cheese" mode to go with the "macro"?

No probs mate. Portrait should work well for a single vehicle shot against a plain background.

Wonderful build Paul, really enjoy the sight lines from behind the tank…well done

Very nice dio setting, Paul; it tells a story. :thumb2:
Waiting for the infantry, now.
Any infantry in support of the ambushing kitty?

They've been drawn off by flank attacks of the rest of the AI & Tank Companies. Tigers are tasked w/ shoot'n'scoot defense. There's a river to the south of the farmhouse w/downed bridges causing the choke point here.

Painting all done except boots & rifles. Then on to inserting pins so they can be placed on the dio. Prolly should of done that first.

[Mini Me]

Pin 'em now before boots and rifles....you can touch 'em up after......piece of cake. Look good...are those the ROCO troops?

[minitnkr]

Thank you, I will. Yes, both early rubbery ones (some modified poses) & the later plastic ones.
ALERT. Somewhen ROCO used a different plastic (darker than original) for its' figs. It is unforgiving, dosen't drill well & breaks easily. The old rubbery ones are easy to work with. The later hard plastic ones are fine also.

Pinning done. Not fun. Boots & rifles next.

Elements of mortar & mg. squads co-ordinate their attack w/rifle squads after stripping tracks of bazookas.
