I made this test video for a fellow BiM member Dragon Brick Studios! link below, I hope it helps you out!
This is a close up shot with a 55mm kit lens!

Nice, if I can manage to get my shots like that then I would be happy. I did a few tests myself when I first got my camera and I got pretty close to what you got (which is where I would like to try and get my close-ups to) but mine weren't quite as good as yours. However (I don't know whether or not you would agree with me on this) I think one thing that might help to move mine a step further would be to get better lighting in the close-ups like you had in this test shot, as I think it helped to bring the details out more on the stormtrooper's helmet, so thanks a bunch for this, as it has helped me with potentially figuring out some ways to improve my close-ups for my future brickfilms! 
Anytime my friend! Yes, lighting is really important 
. I also shoot most of my scenes on the Edges of a table! This is because i get as close to the figure as i can, then build the set around what the camera sees.
