Wow, that is so nice.

Absolutely wonderful pictures! What camera and lens combination do you use? What f-stop can you achieve to get the great depth of field?

Thank you.

Nikon D800
Nikon 24-70 mm (usually use the 30-40 mm range for miniatures)
Aperture f/22
Indirect light - two artificial lights pointed at white ceiling plus a little from window
White balance - measured with Whibal grey card.
Exposure - 6 seconds

Images desaturated and brightened in post

Choose an import element part way into the scene to focus on to maximize the depth of field.

Great pic's and scene Frank and that is one mean and detailed looking Tiger! I so would love to have one of those HB Tigers! Oh well, I'll just wait until FL brings out there's..

That camo is the best I have seen, really makes the Tiger look mean. Would be very happy to have this one. Robin.

Robin I think that is a HB Gold Tiger in the photo (LONG GONE no longer available).... It's a very nice camo version indeed.:salute::...The more recent Figarti versions would also work well for a scene like this and you might have a good chance of still finding one. Best Frank

Beautiful images! That Tiger and those figures are top notch made only better with your splendid photography. Well done.

Thanks a lot guys. It's nice to pull out the HB models again. They go so well with the FL figures.

A lot of the Figarti Tigers are available on Ebay. The best price I have seen recently was $229.00 for a Steel Wheel 222.
