I really like this photo. You have made a cardboard cutout building look so real! I look forward to seeing more of your excellent work. I think I can learn some things from you!
This was actually more of a "playing with the camera" shot than a serious modeling shot. It was handheld (lens braced on the benchwork) at 1/6 of a sec and the light was provided by an external flash unit. I know flash is supposed to be taboo on model RR pics, but a real flash unit replicates daylight nicely when bounced off a ceiling reflector!
