Ahhhh, that makes sense. Thanks for the links. I'll read through them. I haven't seen the Car Models link. I've been going through the Strobist 102 homework assignments so that's how I got the toy car shot. Here's my setup. I was bouncing a Speedlight off a white reflector board.

the Strobist 102 homework assignments There's nothing wrong with flash if you don't have any other options. I prefer to try using the light that's simple & free, as in these:

Inside, I try to mimic one "Sun" light, + a big, clear sky. Try adding a bounce card for the front & side if you think it will help to get what you want.
