Photo Tips

When taking photos of miniatures, have plenty of light.
Get down low and up close to the subject.  If you do a lot of photos of miniatures, get a real camera with a macro lens.  Your tablet or phone camera won't do good close up work and won't allow large blow ups of the photos.
Try for interesting angles, not everything has to be an up close portrait.  Don't be afraid to go outside.
Here the photo is balanced by having two subjects in different corners connected by a road.
Use the focus to help show depth.  Not every photo has to focus on the nearest object.
Put figures in the photo but make sure you can see all you want to show.

Boley Jagdpanther

The HO scale Boley Jagdpanther.
With 1/72nd scale troops by Mars.
Jagdpanther is ready right out of the box.
It's a good kit.
And cheap.
The terrain is a long discontinued version of Monte Cassino but I think it works for many places.

High in the Rubble

Good spot on the hill.
As long as the enemy does not have ground attack aircraft.
Can't back away from this position.
But certainly good place to start a counter attack.
After a quick ambush of the enemy attack.
Long range firepower benefits from a raised platform.
