Youi models are always fantastic. Your pictures are always fuzzy. If you are using a digital camera, gentle press the button and allow the camera to focus, then take the picture. Sometimes, you can place a large piece of paper right where you want to focus and then remove the paper and take the picture. The camera needs to read the beam it sends out to focus the lens, it does this when you gently press the button, before you snap the picture, it is really a 2 step process. In any event. Your ships are awesome!!!!.
