No, it's not your camera, it's you. You're not focusing correctly. You can see the background is focused clearly. Don't use such a jumbled background, use something solid. Try to take the picture from as far away as possible and zoom in; getting to0 close to the subject will make it too hard for the lens to focus. If you have a wiry model like this, use a solid object directly next to it to set your focus and have someone remove the object before you snap the shutter.

Zooming in would mean I would have to go farther away, so I still can't really do anything.

i really wish i had the tool you had. i had to use these sucky pliers. it seems you have to have that certain tool for this to be plausible. besides that it's a constant stuggle. i'll still try to make it but i'm getting a little mad. i like the idea but hate the construction!@!@
