Very Nice work !

Really nice Stang.

I'm afraid, the overall lighting conditions while taking these pictures do not thoroughly live up to your model's finesse,

withholding quite a decent share of fine details.

"Minimal" suggestion:

Placing your model on two sheets of white (or blue) A2-sized card stock and taking the pictures in the daytime on a day with an overcast sky - homogeneous lighting and soft shadows.

On the other hand, taking pictures in the glaring sunshine is almost just as bad as too little lighting.

Cheers,

Erik

Thanks Erik - I need the tips on photography!

That is a beautiful Mustang. A great model to withstand such close up shots and still look so good!

Shame about the dark photos, but that's what learning is all about!

Congrats.
