Me neither. I use macro extension tubes, but there is a blind spot where without it is too wide, with it its too narrow...
You should maybe try to use some natural looking light source, because your foreground is a bit too dark. I use my painting desk lamp (with variable color temperature), but I also have a light box (made of a plastic box, tin foil, thin-white packing paper and a daylight bulb, cost maybe 12 euros).
And try to tilt the background photo, to get rid of the flare. I had to set it in negative angle (so bent in the front), to eliminate it.

Very good pieces of advice! I'll try to apply them next time. Thanks!

I can also share a tip to take photos in front of a computer screen with a background of your choice. Works really well

I did that once with some sci-fi figures as I wanted to create character cards.  Turned out well although I think those pictures are long gone now.

I’ve done this a couple of times - took a bit of setting up to get the figures the right height, but it is so easy to find all sorts of different styles of backgrounds to use

Some great advice chaps!, cheers. Hopefully I can improve my pictures

Well done chaps. I like seeing how you experiment to sharpen your game.
