Great lighting. I also thought it was full-size from the thumbnail. I agree with Michael that the cloth under the car is a nice touch. Alastair

Really nice lighting on this, Nico. Are the creases in the black cloth (which irritate you) underneath the car? If so, I personally like the texture and think it adds interest. -Michael

Thanks, Guys. The creases in the black cloth irritate me endlessly. We had a red-tinted light right behind the little car, 180 degrees from the camera; the main light was to the right of the camera, basically lighting the car from straight-ahead and a fill-light just about 90 degrees to the camera left just to add a bit of reflection on the side and rear of our very patient and cooperative model. Lesson for next time: find a different surface! :-) Regards Nico

Wow, I totally thought this was a full scale car from the thumb and even for the first several seconds opened up. Very nicely done Nico! ~Brent

This guy seems a little down in the mouth. He should be proud of his beautiful machine and reds. -tv

Cool! It looks full-sized! Nicely done, Nico. ~Lydia
