The figures look great mate and the photos are not that bad.
If you have an SLR with loads of knobs and buttons there is one that you can turn to a setting thats called something like AP This is the Aperture priority setting. Using this will allow you to determine the size of the aperture and the camera will adjust the shutter speed to compensate. Of you make the aperture smaller, the depth of focus will be deeper and more of the picture will be in focus. The shutter times will get slower as the aperture gets smaller, so a tripod might be a good idea if not using a flash.
As model figures seldom move or sneeze, you can close the aperture right down to the smallest, which is the highest number. (f22 is a tiny little hole, f1.8 is pretty much full open). Depending on the lighting you could get an exposure time running into many seconds.
Hope that that was not to confusing!
Looking forward to seeing the whole thing come together. I also think it would be an idea to leave the back open to enable you to look closer at the figures. It would be a pity to hide them away once the lid goes on...
