Looks alot better now, for your pics try using the macro and a tripod to steady the camera.

Macro is a setting, all digicams have it it allows you to take a pic of smaller objects, like minis. On mine it is a sliding control that you just put to the macro position indicated by a flower symbol on the casing. You have to set the cam at the optimum distance to use this feature which it will tell you in your manual but usually it is about 20 cm.

GREAT improvement and regardless of the pics i can still see a worthy paintjob, well done.
ps, i was browsing through some military modellers mags and there seems to be a collossal amount of tips in them for painting tanks and things, it's not my thing so i didn't pay much attention but using 6B pencils and all types of things for weathering was really cool... you may want to investigate yourself if you have more vehicles in the pipeline

that sounds quite interesting actually, do you know the name and issue number at all? or was it just in a shop |

Tamiya Model Magazine is a great publication to show how to weather vehicles of all types also MiG powders are good for weathering.
