Are you stacking multiple images? I find that for small objects that I must shoot two plates. Otherwise I try very high f-stop and timed exposures…

No, I don't do that, Bruce. I'm not a photographer by any means, really; I just take pictures and cross my fingers! 
Richard encouraged me to set the camera further from the subject, then I can zoom in to get the image the desired size while keeping the background in focus as well, more like our natural vision does. Does that make sense from a photography POV? I may have messed up the explanation. 
I'm almost certain the camera was set on auto for the last two pics posted.

A longer distance to the subject would really help! Sounds like your friend is a great advisor. Also the quantity of natural sunlight gives you enough light to increase depth of field.

I like that 262 to but I like that yellow Tigercat even more. That is also a very cool build.
