I use a Sony A100 DSLR, and most of these pics were taken with a Minolta 24/2.8 lens. I took the side shot with a Minolta 135/2.8, and for the close-ups I used a Minolta 35-70/4, which has a macro mode.

It's all about the lighting. I use an external flash in wireless mode with a Lumiquest softbox, and 1 or 2 reflectors (plain white paper) to fill the shadows. The camera is always mounted on a tripod. My lighting solution is not perfect, because the softbox is small (though Lumiquest now makes a bigger one) and I have virtually no modelling light (which makes me take dozens of photographs until I find the right lighting angle). I would recommend renting a studio instead - I'm just too lazy to do that myself.

Excellent build!
Amazing work, and I agree that it looks almost real.

The only VERY SMALL thing that catches my eye, is the treaded tires.
Maybe they are rain tires, but on a track car, part of my brain just wants to see slicks.

But I am still jealous, and wish my projects could turn out that great!

Awesome result... Almost real...
I scroll to see the photos, and I go back and see them again and again. Love it! Gongrats...
