The light seems to come from behind, making it very hard to see the paint job properly. Could you get some light from the front?

Getting decent light (sunlight is best) and a nuetral base/backdrop, plus a steady hand is half the battle to making your miniatures looking their best

Amigo!
I really want to take a good look and give feedback but I am not able to see details since the light is still coming from the wrong direction (the back). The evidence is in the shadows on the tabletop reaching towards the viewer. The light needs to come from roughly the same place as where you are holding the camera, both anglewise and height wise. The ceiling light is too high up. I use a desk lamp which is in the height of my head and put my mobile right next to it, when I take images most of the time. If I have to use only the ceiling light I lift the models high and photo them close to a bright wall so they get more of the light hitting them in the front.
The shadows should be behind the models, away from the viewer, often not visible at all if you get the light hitting them in the front. Sorry to nag you but you will thank me down the line for learning it.

Thanks for the great advise Fred. i will try with my next set 
sound advice from @FredOslow .
Personally, when i can i use sunlight, place my phone propped up so it is freestanding and not casting any shadows on the model itself, then use my bluetooth headset to click the photo, so no wobble occurs.
If i need to use an overhead light, i lay the model/unit on its side so that the light is shining directly down on it to reduce shadow,
hope that helps
From what i’m seeing though, they are looking good
