Something New Something Old January 2023 Odds End, I start off with photos from a new contributor Frederico Salva of Italy. Next, I share some items that I have acquired over the last year.
Something New Something Old January 2023 Frederico’s Conversions
I send you the photos of the toy soldiers that I modified last year.
These are four WWII Japanese infantrymen made using Atlantic and Res plastic pieces (and a lot of Airfix putty, especially on the faces.

Frederico’s conversions are great and his painting is top notch.
In the archer photo you can see that the camera focused on the background. If you zoom in you can see the little bits of plastic or paint chips there in sharp focus.
With most digital cameras / phone cameras you can touch the spot you want to focus on in the display screen and the camera will focus on that spot. Another technique you can try which works well with moving objects as well, is to make a video of the object and then scroll through the video images to find the best still image.
Some great work by Frederico – kudos!
Some cameras have a minimum focusing distance, so you might have to move back just a bit at times to allow it to autofocus on your subject. Also, the more light you can get on your subject, the easier it is for your camera to autofocus. At least that’s been my experience. Thanks for all you do, Paul!
Love those Japanese figures !
